[quote name="A perfect circle"]How exactly do we "grow the economy," institute some kind of single payer or even subsidized social healthcare system and maybe even flirt with the idea of a universal basic income (never mind legacy entitlements such as social security) when we're also the social safety net for the entirety of Latin America? Don't put that "build a wall" evil on me, but securing our borders isn't a radical notion for a nation state that intends to apportion a significant percentage of its budget to social programs. Using infinite <strike>immigrants</strike> Asylum Seekers to create an entitlement class (dedicated voting bloc) is a zero sum game if we're playing by the established rules of economics. [/quote]
