Some perfectly reasonable people could think safety nets and inequality for growth is a false trade-off.

If your money is in a "safety net" then how could it be used for growth?

Because obviously all of your money isn't in a safety net, only some of it is.

See: Canada and Sweden, both of which have soundly demonstrated the combination of a safety net and growth over the last 40 years.

But the money that is in the safety net can't be used for growth. I am not talking about the rest of the money. That is what makes it a trade-off.
