Liars figure
Nonsense. These feral vermin mostly have never worked a day in their lives. Immigrants who move for work add to the economy. So called asylum seekers are just moving their shithole ghettos to a place with better welfare benefits.
Bull crap! Only a complete idiot would believe such bull!
> refugees will increase public debt by almost €69bn (£54bn) between 2015 and 2020, during the same period refugees will help GDP grow by €126.6bn
Even if these figures are accurate, the governments are going to take half of the revenue side, which means no net benefit to the public.
Bs to the max. But it also skirts the main issue. Europe is invaded and soon will be subjugated, conquered by the enemy its sell- out ruling elite’s let in
Utopian bull (cough cough). There was a reason Cesar Chavez first stood in the fields with a stick - to keep out illegals, who decrease wages and raise local unemployment (yes, he later sold out to the unions, but the point remains timeless)
The broken window fallacy:
In Bastiat’s tale, a man’s son breaks a pane of glass, meaning the man will have to pay to replace it. The onlookers consider the situation and decide that the boy has actually done the community a service because his father will have to pay the glazier (window repair man) to replace the broken pane. The glazier will then presumably spend the extra money on something else, jump-starting the local economy.
The onlookers come to believe that breaking windows stimulates the economy, but Bastiat points out that further analysis exposes the fallacy. By breaking the window, the man’s son has reduced his father’s disposable income, meaning his father will not be able purchase new shoes or some other luxury good. Thus, the broken window might help the glazier, but at the same time, it robs other industries and reduces the amount being spent on other goods. Moreover, replacing something that has already been purchased is a maintenance cost, rather than a purchase of truly new goods, and maintenance doesn’t stimulate production. In short, Bastiat suggests that destruction - and its costs - don’t pay in an economic sense.
The broken window fallacy is often used to discredit the idea that going to war stimulates a country’s economy. As with the broken window, war causes resources and capital to be funneled out of industries that produce goods to industries that destroy things, leading to even more costs. According to this line of reasoning, the rebuilding that occurs after war is primarily maintenance costs, meaning that countries would be much better off not fighting at all.
The broken window fallacy also demonstrates the faulty conclusions of the onlookers; by only taking into consideration the man with the broken window and the glazier who must replace it, the crowd forgets about the missing third party (such as the shoe maker). In this sense, the fallacy comes from making a decision by looking only at the parties directly involved in the short term, rather than looking at all parties (directly and indirectly) involved in the short and long term.

These refugees stimulate the economy exactly like a riot with lots of broken windows, and only a moron would believe that was a positive - in other words, all liberals believe.
I’ve got some oceanfront property in Arizona that’s for sale, if anyone (like the author of this baloney) is interested.
“Most significantly, Legrain calculates that while the absorption of so many refugees will increase public debt by almost €69bn (£54bn) between 2015 and 2020, during the same period refugees will help GDP grow by €126.6bn – a ratio of almost two to one.”
If they’re so productive, how come the crapholes they come from don’t have booming economies?

It’s Obamacare type math.
“You will save 2500.00 a year with Obamacare”
Pure BS.
And Venezuela will become an economic power house.
I don't understand the Leftist compulsion to welcome their conquerors with open arms.
Ellis Island will be busy once again...
They will increase hiring of first responders and construction workers when they continue to blow stuff up.
If it worked like that, Detroit would be a thriving metropolis.
If you believe that, I have on offer at par value shares in a stock company engaged in the construction of a suspension bridge connecting the cities of Brooklyn and New York. This is a fantastic opportunity!
The more you spend the more you make. Everyone knows that.
