Those outcomes are the explicit reasons they HAVEN’T repealed those programs in the past. Gutted them several times over, turned them into money piles for The Rich, yes, but never, EVER actually tried to repeal them. They’ve campaigned against these programs for DECADES, screaming about how awful they are, how they’ll get rid of them and then everyone will be wealthy, for YEARS!!!
But they haven’t. As a political scapegoat, they’re too damn useful; they consistently get a major voting bloc motivated and just plain angry enough to head to the polls and knowingly, openly vote against their own interests. But more than that, they know that those same people, the ones frothing at the mouth against the immigrant, the queer, and the minority, are the ones who will suffer most should these programs fail, leading them to direct their anger at those who caused it.
And so, the programs persist, for should they actually fail, heads will roll…
Ahhh, classic doublethink. These fucking dipshits simultaneously want to kill all immigrants, while making them work all the shit jobs, and if you point that put to any of them, their heads explode. What a bunch of fucking maroons.
