There actually is a chance that an idea like this could get through Congress, because it's for everyone, not just for people who really need it. Therefore, there's no need to distinguish between the "makers and takers" (to use their parlance). I don't see it being a strong possibility, given that their main strategy is to oppose and not to govern, but ideologically, I think that conservatives should be able to get behind this idea.
