A piece of research has been presented by Data for Progress and the Justice Collaborative Institute that shows over 50% of Republican voters are in favor of a bill proposed by Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib (a member of AOC's "The Squad") which, if passed, would give every American a monthly "universal basic income" check of $2,000 while the pandemic is ongoing. Then, it would provide every American a monthly "universal basic income" check of $1,000 for an additional year.

For over 40 years, I have had to listen to conservatives and Republicans drone on and on about how incompetent and wasteful that our federal government's spending is. I have had to listen to their drivel about how we should never add to the national debt and the federal budget deficit, and why we should cut and reduce spending on Social Security to demonstrate that we have "fiscal responsibility" even though it is fully solvent through 2034 and can easily be made more fully solvent for many additional decades.

And now, all of a sudden, they want to ride the big, bad federal government "gravy train." I thought that you all believed in “limited government”?

So now, after listening to your right-wing, cold-hearted social Darwinist propaganda for 40 years, I find out that you not only are a bunch of hypocrites and posers, but that you have turned into "crazy Socialists" and "crazy communists."
