There is a scene in the movie "Cinderella Man" where James J. Braddock walks into the relief agency and returns money that he received when his family was struggling. This is what comes to mind when I think of America. I like to believe in the best of people.
Republicans have blocked an extension of unemployment benefits several times this year. They say that it creates a disincentive to work. These people who crow about American Exceptionalism are so cynical and petty that they believe Americans are lazy and would rather collect a check for doing nothing than work. I'm not saying it doesn't happen. I just don't believe that most people are like that.
