Answer:

The answer is avoidance rationalization.

Explanation:

This type of rationalization accepts that a problem exists, but avoids any confrontation by offering little or no analysis for solving it.

One of the arguments a person under this phenomenon may use, is precisely saying that the situation was worse in the past. Other examples include addressing other problems by saying "they are more important".
