Good luck with that. Congress literally just days ago denounced socialism and this sort of thing is one of the prime examples of what they think of when they think of socialism.

I want to say this is the stupidest goddamn thing I've ever seen Congress vote on but it just has so much competition.

Yeah, "they" have generations now of successfully tying socialism to a communist totalitarian dictatorship like socialism=North Korea, and then tying social programs to socialism. So, it has now basically come down to "You want free public schools for children?!?!" "Then you must want to live in North Korea you nutjob!"
