Context for 'tant mieux'

Hi,

Is 'tant mieux' used in a sarcastic sense, like 'good for you' in English, or is it used in a genuine sense.

This question relates to:French lesson "Better and better, worse and worse = de mieux en mieux, de pire en pire (Comparisons in French)"

Hi Annie, 

It all depends on the context and how you say it, it is as versatile as in English...
