The people who say that we can’t afford social welfare programs never think affordability is a problem when it comes to police, building new prisons, or going to war.
It’s particularly aggravating when people say this about programs that will pay for themselves in the long run (as panel three mentions). “We can’t afford it” isn’t generally a real argument: It’s an excuse to avoid making an argument.
