@GovMikeHuckabee "Seven-in-ten American voters support a federal plan to help states and local communities provide better early childhood education"

@GovMikeHuckabee "Majorities across partisan lines agree—74% of Republicans, 79% of Independents, and 97% of Democrats. Only 10% of voters say federal funding for child care and preschool should be cut." ffyf.org/2017-poll/
@GovMikeHuckabee As it is the federal government spends almost nothing on child care and pre-k, so of course GOP budget proposals consistently try to slash what little there is newamerica.org/education-poli…
@GovMikeHuckabee 47% to 17% are clamoring for Postal banking.

@GovMikeHuckabee Are the only real Americans Trump supporters? Well "More than six in 10 Trump voters (62 percent) support taxing and/or regulating the pollution that causes global warming, with nearly one in three (31 percent) supporting both approaches." environment.yale.edu/news/article/p…
@GovMikeHuckabee But counting unreal Americans 70% of all registered voters support a carbon tax. climatecommunication.yale.edu/wp-content/upl…
@GovMikeHuckabee Super majorities support family leave, 82% support paid maternity leave, 67% support paternal leave, they may not know how to get it but...

@GovMikeHuckabee 70% of small business owners want a federal program to help distribute the costs of family across the economy, rather than mandating a lotto for employers where employees with child or elder care responsibility could sink their business.

@GovMikeHuckabee Pretty much everybody guarantees paid parental leave but the United States. As a matter of federal policy every day is bring-your-cradle-to-work-day, the most it did was pass mandatory breast-feeding break time under Obamacare.

@GovMikeHuckabee A federal jobs guarantee polled with 46% support out of the gate, according to Rasmussen. rasmussenreports.com/public_content…
@GovMikeHuckabee A Civis Analytics poll asked about "the government providing jobs for people who can’t find employment in the private sector. This would be paid for by a 5 percent income tax increase on those making over $200,000 per year" and found 52% support. thenation.com/article/why-de…
@GovMikeHuckabee But that's just a round about way of raising the federal minimum wage to $15, which is supported by 52% of the public.
pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2017…
@GovMikeHuckabee Smaller minimum wage increases climb to 70% support. Not unrelatedly the GOP wants to cut SNAP benefits further, despite nigh-universal support for raising them, even among Republicans.

thehill.com/homenews/33583…
@GovMikeHuckabee The President and some GOP leaders think abolishing the federal minimum wage altogether is a good idea to flip flop back and forth on. forbes.com/sites/timworst…
@GovMikeHuckabee 70% of Americans support "a new law that would provide qualified candidates with limited public matching funds for small contributions they raise from constituents", making them competitive with the contributions of business groups and the wealthy. everyvoice.org/wp-content/upl…
@GovMikeHuckabee Social Security is America's only rela cradle to the grave program. 67% of Americans support lifting the cap on Social Security taxes for income over $120K, taxing all income equally, to fund future shortfalls. 66% think we should expand its benefits.
socialsecurityworks.org/wp-content/upl…
@GovMikeHuckabee But how will we pay for it!? Between tax cuts and military spending boosts ya'll have passed $4T in debt spending in the first two years of your trifecta while concern over debt has gone down from 3% of peoples' top priority issue to 1%. Nobody cares much
news.gallup.com/poll/1675/most…
@GovMikeHuckabee But we might make a good start by nickel and diming fraudulent huckster snake oil sawdust pill salesmen like Governor Mike Huckabee until they, too also, are just scraping by the skin of their teeth and seek common sense solutions like medicare for all.
