    Supplying generic birth control(not abortions) to developing nations both raises their economic output per capita and reduces the birth rate. It solves multiple problems all at once very easily with few moral objections. It's a policy no brainer.

    Bernie attempted a two for one by conflating this with "women's rights to abortions".

    Stupid fucking move you only do when you live in an ideological echo chamber.

    Why should it be the responsibility of the USA to provide birth control to other nations?
    It's not our responsibility but it's a very cheap way to stabilize regions that otherwise tend to cause us problems in other ways.
    I'm ok with that, if the politicians pay for it. Enact a politician tax to fund their wasteful pet projects. They can pay for it out of their own salaries.

    The politicians salaries! That’s the REAL problem today.

    These clowns work about 2 months out of the year, if you factor in all the 'breaks' they take. Shave their salaries by 75%.

    Yes, let’s increase their dependence on lobbyists and campaign donations.

    Brilliant.

    I’m sorry, are you saying we can sustain the current rate of population growth? The same folks that think 11 million Mexicans will ruin our country think we can keep this up? Cmon.

    40 million. They've said 11 million forever. Do you think they stopped sneaking in? Current estimate 22 to 40 million.

    You could always go with reducing the size, scope and power of the Federal government so that there isn't the incentive lobby the Federal government. Always amazes me when people who support a massive and all powerful Federal government are shocked when people spend money trying to curry favor with that government.

    11 million is the number OBK keeps quoting. I trust his expertise.

    Besides, how could anymore be getting in? Surely, dear leader has secured the border by now...or does he need more tim???

    They've been saying 11 million for a few decades I think. Lots have come since then. Made up number.

    Take it up with OBK, man. I’m just playing along. I mean, imagine being as mad as he is about immigration and having the fundamental facts completely wrong. Fucking embarrassing is what that is.
