I TOLD YOU SO!

GOP extremist Senator Marco Rubio has proposed a bill that seems like a good idea that Democrats have been proposing for a while, paid family leave. However, once you move past the title, it all falls apart. 

Rubio, one of Donald Trump's true sycophants, says we are going to support this new prolife mandate by the Supreme Court by giving these new struggling families paid family leave. LIE. The bill would provide paid family leave, but this family must forego part of their social security money to do so. 

I HATE TO SAY I TOLD YOU SO, BUT I TOLD YOU SO.

This is not the first time Rubio has floated this idea. In 2018, he laid out the same plan which would provide the leave money now but at a cost to the same family at retirement. It's ok. They are hoping you will be dead before you can claim any social security benefits. That is, after all, why they keep increasing the age to earn full social security payments.  

These theocratic extremists are not going to spend a single tax dollar to help the women they just turned into incubators or their husbands but will instead draw on these poor family's future pensions to pay for the kids that they are forcing them to have now regardless of that family's economic viability.

What next? Are Republicans going to offer you some food stamps, but they will have to tax that family at a higher rate? Hey Little Marco, if they could afford to be taxed more or forego their social security, they would not need food stamps from you. 

I've been screaming this since this new iteration of the theocratic fascist Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade a week and a half ago, and I will say it again now. They do not care about the wellbeing of these children. They just want to force women to comply by giving birth, but you will never see them spend a nickel on any social programs. 

But how do you know this for sure, you may ask? Because they have fought Democrats on all these bills for the last 50+ years. It was the Republican Party that allowed the extended child tax credit to expire just last year. All that did was help bring CHILDREN, the one's already living, out of poverty and keep them from going hungry. Not one single Republican voted to extend that child tax credit. NOT ONE.

And let's not forget that we are the only industrialized country in the world that does not provide health care for all its citizens, including CHILDREN, and we are one of only a handful of industrialized nations that does not provide paid-family leave. We know that Rpublicans are full of crap, but yet people continue to vote for the two-faced extremist liars who would rather ensure a murder can get a gun at the drop of a hat than make sure that all kids have free school lunches, health care or food stamps. 

They always have been, and continue to be, a disgrace to the nation and it is time to vote the liars out of office. This could be our last chance, since this might be the last free election held in United States history - and guess who we have to thank for that? You guessed it!
