What people don't get about civic fiscal spending is...if you set aside expenditures towards investing in public improvement policies like free healthcare, free college education, free vocational training, free internet...those INVESTMENTS...have awesome RETURN OF INVESTMENT rates.
What I never got was why don't we funnel a shit ton of funding into schools for a few decades...and actually upgrade and update our educational system...not none of that "No Child Left Behind Bullshit"...but actual improvements to how students are taught. Then see how other problems evaporate...like crime, poverty, malnourishment, obesity, environmental degradation...and so on.
Good on Kamala for trying to explain that to the people.
