GOP lawmakers slam proposals for guaranteed income amid pandemic

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Republicans are pushing back on the idea of providing a minimum guaranteed income to Americans amid the financial fallout of the coronavirus pandemic.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) expressed an openness to the concept on Monday during an interview with MSNBC while discussing the financial aid recently approved by Congress to help bolster the economy.

"Let's see what works, what is operational and what needs attention," she said.

"Others have suggested a minimum income, a guaranteed income for people. Is that worthy of attention now? Perhaps so," Pelosi continued. "Because there are many more people than just in small business and hired by small business ... that may need some assistance as well."

Remember Mnunchin said the $1200 is supposed to last you ten weeks.

1. And of course they won't complain about the trillions of dollars in 'socialist' payments made to...

keep businesses afloat recently. Hypocrites.

[KPN]

2. Good. It's about time we push what some call "radical". Maybe that way we'll see something

reasonable, sensible and fair. Give them a target other than SS, Medicare and the ACA to shoot at.

3. Just give me a one time $10,000 check, that sounds fair

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Watch Canada.

5. Are we still paying Senators and Representatives?

I mean, they haven't been showing up for work on the regular for several weeks, right? Conservative Republicans really like paraphrasing that verse from Thessalonians: If you don't work, you don't eat. I expect all of them will be turning their salaries back in to the Treasury for the duration, right? Right?
