2. I strongly oppose...

I strongly oppose any more welfare to the welfare states. Enough. They have been getting subsidized by the blue states for so long that they take much more than they have given forever.

They don't contribute, they suck it up and then, the gall, they have the audacity to bite the hand that feeds them in this crisis. It is hypocritical and misleading to use the need in the crises to deflect from their welfare status and their Turtle King should be wary of that.

Not only that, but they are also looking to be the worst states in the sense that they are more intent on jumping the gun and reopening early, which will only put more of a strain on resources and funds. It's like states on a meth binge, mentally and fiscally, in that sense.

It would be nice to have that funding issue reigned in. What would the welfare states do on their own without the funding we provide? The Republicans already seem to impoverish and exploit their "constituents" as they deceive them, so maybe there is a threat there and to the coffers of the Senators and Representatives that crack the whip on their people and then spit in their faces.
