Where's the problem with this picture?

What planet are Republicans on?

The economy is robust. The markets are near record highs. Unemployment is down for the 70th consecutive month. The banks and auto manufacturers have paid back their government bailouts, with interest, to the Treasury. Auto manufacturers are breaking sales records (suggesting we have expendable income).

Business is hiring. Interest rates remain low. A significant international climate accord has been reached. Our enemies are focusing on offshore targets and we have weakened their leadership structure.

At least 15 million more people have affordable health insurance than they did two years ago. Social Security remains solvent into the future. Wildlands are being protected for future generations and stricter gun control is coming.

The air and water are cleaner and the dollar is again a sought-after currency. Gasoline is cheap. Cuba will be a terrific trading partner.

OK, Speaker Ryan and Majority Leader McConnell, tell me again what's wrong with the administration's approach?"
