Frustrated that the federal stimulus checks are "too meager and too temporary," Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D.-Mich) wants the government to give every US resident $2,000 a month for life.
"We have it within our power to make the 'Garden of Eden' a real thing," Tlaib said. "Why should so many of our residents have to spend so much time doing unpleasant jobs just to make a living? Wouldn't it be better if the government simply gave a regular monthly income to everyone 'no strings attached?' Hours previously wasted commuting to dead-end jobs would be freed up for more satisfying activities and folks would have the cash to have fun."
The Congresswoman expressed her confidence that "people would vote for this idea if they had the opportunity. Of course, in a way, they kind of already did by electing Biden president and giving him a majority in both Houses of Congress. However, he hasn't yet fulfilled his mandate to do this. I have had discussions with Speaker Pelosi and we both agree that the President should issue an executive order amending the Constitution to require that each and every resident within our borders be given these monthly payouts. If he does, once word gets out we'll have so many more migrants coming to collect their checks that there will be enough votes to make the Democratic Party the permanent majority in all branches of the federal government."

What, she thinks she’s okra wimpfree? “You get $2,000 and you get $2,000 and you get.......” And please, no taxes on it. Trespassers to the front of the line.
This c#nt thinks she can confirm her power as dictator for life if she can buy enough followers, with taxpayer money.
Thought it was Babylon Bee. I’ll take the $2k. Heh heh.

A better idea would be to give everyone 2000 Japanese Yen every month. If we gave dollars we would just drive the value of the dollar towards the value of the yen anyway.
You can tell that she and the rest of the squad don’t offer up any of their salary or anything else for that matter. What hypocrites.
Yet the average social security check (2020) is just $1,390.12 after a worker pays into the system for 40 some years.
If this were to pass, it could actually be cheaper if it were to eliminate all the other “welfare” programs. But not like that is going to happen.
The rich have 50 trillion and the left wants it. They’ll probably get it in 10 years.
That is tragic.
