    You’d be surprised what they would support. Until the neoliberals killed capitalism there wasn’t really that much problem with the idea of governments running public services.

    Hell, usury is a sin. Very clearly defined as such, biblically. You tell them the US government is in a position to act as an interest-free loan office and they probably wouldn’t have any real problems with the idea.

      “Hell, usury is a sin. Very clearly defined as such, biblically.”

      Ayyyy that would be a wonderful thing to bring up to a Dominionist Republican and watch them struggle between “need to force people to believe we’re a religious nation” and “we cannot give the people services, they must pay.
