In which case there should be no resistance in those areas and should be an easy to implement.
Or is this one of those “it does nothing for me so I’m against it” arguments?

So a policy being appropriate for 75% of the country is unacceptable because 25% of the country is against it? Is that something that happens all over the US? Or is it only if a certain poor and red 25% is against it that an idea is bad, even if they would benefit most?
In a Consumer driven country like the USA, where spending money is the main thing keeping the country try moving, being against giving people more spending power seems counterproductive and damaging to the overall economy.
