   Yes, destroying foreign aid ultimately will boomerang on Americans because pandemics know no borders.
   Yes, terrorizing immigrants will affect our food supply and slow down construction.
   And, yes, the GOP's mammoth tax cuts for the uberwealthy funded by cuts to programs for the needy will be bad for the economy.
