I guess people don't see that as an achievement because things aren't better for the average person. Not being worse doesn't mean anything to them at a visceral level because they didn't experience "the worse".
Of course, there are the Republicans screaming that the real solution is to stop spending and dole out more tax cuts to the wealthy so they can hire more peons. Trickle down.

There you go examining the psychology behind peoples actions. I do this to people all of the time, and they hate me for it.
"So, why are you so upset about taxes? Did the bullies beat you up and take your lunch money in grade school? Did they humiliate you in front of class by calling you "bitch boy" or "girly man"? Does this explain your rabid homophobia?"
Seriously, though John. You may be onto something here.
