Why doesn’t Mitt Romney just change parties? It’s not like he’s not trying to hide the fact that he’s a wimpy liberal in any way, shape or form. On Monday the Republican from Utah proposed providing every American adult with a temporary universal basic income.
Romney’s proposal would give every American adult $1,000. Many Americans are staying home and missing work due to the pandemic. Several state and local governments are mandating the closings of schools, restaurants, bars and movie theaters. And, according to the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), an employer is allowed to force employees to work from home if exposed to a “serious infections disease.
The prospect of a universal basic income gained traction during the 2020 presidential campaign of businessman Andrew Yang, and is estimated to cost roughly $3.2 trillion a year. The proposal is also supported by the presidential campaign of Democratic Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, who has proposed similar legislation in the House.
Romney said his proposal is necessary to take the burden off small businesses and families during the crisis. The House of Representatives passed a relief package Saturday that included paid sick leave for millions of American employees.

America has a hard enough time getting a Democrat voter to actually go out and get a job, This will insure that they don’t and may create even more people to vote for a Democrat up to the point when the free money stops. But today’s Democratic leaders will all have made their fortune and their families will be set for life.
