This is one of those “own the libs” snarks, but real. “Should we spend taxpayer money to help poor people get healthcare?” is a legitimate question. “Should we spend even more taxpayer money to stop poor people from getting healthcare?” is counterproductive and cruel.https://twitter.com/joanalker1/status/1021431502683467776 …
You have a strong opinion on it, and that's fine. But my point is when there are clear economic trade-offs, it's reasonable to prefer one side or the other. When there aren't--when it's all downside except the "upside" of hurting some people--then trade-off logic doesn't apply.
