Where there’s a will, there’s a way. The government could chose to spend money helping people in any number of ways, but it’s always “how you gonna pay for it?” Meanwhile there’s a blank check for building bombs to be dropped on Yemen, Iran, or Palestine.
Give us universal healthcare so people don’t go bankrupt and lose their houses when they develop a health problem. Maybe build some of those cheap, commieblock apartments that we can rent for like 6% of our income instead of a third or more. Build public transit so we don’t have to spend tons of money buying and maintaining cars. Subsidize essentials like groceries. If we weren’t pouring a trillion dollars a year into terrorizing brown people on the other side of the world, we could afford to do basically anything.
All of those are things that other governments have done, but here in the States we’re so used to the government doing fuck-all to the point that people start thinking it isn’t even possible for the government to help anyone. But if you look at other countries, or at history, there’s plenty of stuff they could do if they wanted to.
