Another good do entary is PBS "Sick Around The World", how other industrial, more civilized (aka less money-poisoned capitalistic) countries, not screwed by their medical sector, manage to provide universal health care. LOTS of variations
It features an urban high school in Houston, TX. One kid is working till like 3 o'clock in the morning at a grocery store on school days with his father having been deported and his mother facing deportation. Puts a face on a lot of social/educational/immigration issues.

That way, he isn't sponging off welfare.
Win/win for the economy right?
I mean, if he spends all his time working and not bothering with silly things like education, we are all better off. It's wasted on him anyway, because he doesn't pay income taxes. That silly sense of en lement again.
What surprises me about this issue is that, according to conventional wisdom, he runs the risk of alienating some of his base. There's a ton of rural areas served by NPR and nobody else. I think I used Marfa as an example of this earlier.
"alienating some of his base"
his base is VRWC/conservative/Repug blind ideololgues.
His has the "Christian"/racist/xenophone/god/guns/gays/abortion/social bases. He won't push people to vote Barry, but he can very well discourage his base from voting at all. eg, evangelicals aren't thrilled about a Bishop in the Mormon freaky cult.
Shut the up, bot.
