We don’t even need to raise taxes. All the money we need for social services is in the military budget that hasn’t passed a successful audit this century.
I’d be fine with our military expenditures if we used them for civil engineering in peacetime… And I guess we would have to stop those pesky undeclared wars as a happy knock on effect.

Yeah, we have literally all the money we need to pay for all our social services.
We spend as much as the next 7 largest militaries COMBINED.
It’s such a massive grift, and we can’t touch the military budget because it’s the only form of welfare that works and tons of Americans NEED it.

we spend more on healthcare than the military last i checked (but again, no audit on DoD spending so…)
Even so, that’s ~800 billion that could be used for social services and improving lives.
Also if we’re so skint that we can’t afford to take care of the basics…how did we find all that ICE money? After a massive revenue cut, also!
