It will never happen.

This is largely what at least half the country wants.

“If I need to take a drug test to earn a check you better take one to get welfare.”

I’ve heard a working class person say this. I guarantee you the people who own defense contractors, the real welfare queens don't need to take a drug test.

Likewise, the horrific thought that someone unworthy might get free healthcare is appalling to half this country. They’d rather go without just to ensure *those people don’t get free healthcare.

This country doesn’t want to be fixed. It wants RFK to tell you to treat Autism with raw milk and sunshine.

Nothing much to do but try to find a civilized place to live
