    This.

    Technically, welfare is an expense, but, it:

    a)is caused by the economic situation caused by the rich; b)makes people more economically secure, thereby improving, for everyone, the salary negotiating power and ability to build new enterprises, which return money to the economy; c)may save you personally if things turn south. And they always can.

    All that right-wing bullshit about economic freedom and not having to pay for losers has been disproven two centuries ago, yet people prefer to listen to talking heads that will never mention this nuance.
