 Or a chicken and the egg problem.
The blue policies lead to welfare dependencies and poverty mindset. These policies and mindsets also drive further population density as the only possible ways to support the programs without instantaneous destruction.

But they feed on each other. In a festering sort of way. 
 What happens to a dream deferred?

      Does it dry up
      like a raisin in the sun?
      Or fester like a sore—
      And then run?
      Does it stink like rotten meat?
      Or crust and sugar over—
      like a syrupy sweet?

      Maybe it just sags
      like a heavy load.

      Or does it explode?

- Langston Hughes
