This morning I was reading the Pew Research Surveys on support for the $1.9T COVID Aid Package Bill.    Pew reports that 70% of Americans support the bill.  This is a huge majority.  Even 41% of Republicans and Republican leaning Independents support the bill.  And yet 0% of Republican Representatives in Washington DC support the bill.  Republican governors and mayors support it, but despite this, the voices with the biggest megaphones are not able to move public opinion against it, and refuse to move in the direction of their constituents… amazingly I hear Republican Senators and Congressmen say … “sure if you are getting $1400 in the mail, you’d support the bill without understanding the costs” … how arrogant a statement!  Are they really saying that nearly 180M Americans and of that 30+M Republicans are too stupid to understand the positive and negative consequences?
I advocate for sensible and responsible investment in American people and our economy… and more importantly I advocate for sensible conversation and debate.   Washington Republicans are missing the boat on this.
