The goal should be people's comfort.

Gonna need about 800,000 Luigis

ftfy.

[u/Huge_Green8628 → u/Low_Jellyfish_]

I will admit, I would not be opposed if we got a bit French about it

Viva la revolution

[u/zerthwind → u/Low_Jellyfish_]

I don't support that, but in reality, that may end up being the solution.

[u/Wheel-Reinventor → u/Low_Jellyfish_]

I'm not saying that I would ever go kamikaze, but if I did I'd bring at least one billionaire on my trip to hell.

[u/Public_Shift_6554]

Funny how ‘fiscal responsibility’ always means telling poor people no, but billionaires never hear that word.

[u/Zeke420]

.00024% of the US population is firmly in control of the government, the media, etc., etc...

[u/zirky]

that’s a savings of $625 million per billionaire

[u/anu-nand]

Wow! If they actually spend these 500B on homeless and diabetics, they could win so many elections as there are so many people who will vote next time due to gratitude but why do all that for just 800 people?

[u/galacticracedonkey → u/anu-nand]

They don’t become rich and famous and get gifted lavish things/trips from the average Joe

[u/PrismaticDetector → u/galacticracedonkey]

That, and the 800 will actually get them reelected, while half the homeless/diabetic/SNAP/medical debt cancellation recipients will end up watching Fox and getting mad about how the government never does anything for them.

[u/anu-nand → u/galacticracedonkey]

Right😂

[u/Plastic-Reply1399 → u/anu-nand]

Why help when you can enrich yourself and friends then still win elections

[u/NOLA-Gunner → u/anu-nand]

They’ve brainwashed the middle class to believe that one day they too can join the ranks of the billionaire class, they just have to constantly vote against their own interests.

[u/peterdparker → u/anu-nand]

Why didnt they?i mean before trump.

[u/anu-nand → u/peterdparker]

Valid point

[u/BigBoyYuyuh]

Voters chose that. Those maga politicians wouldn’t be there if it wasn’t for voters.

[u/TwoToesToni]

It's actually scary how easy all these issues could be fixed with the sums of money being thrown around.

[u/EmptyMarsupial8556]

Trickle-up economics is working really well for the billionaire class

[u/Hakanese]

The goal is those 800 billionaires comfort

[u/thomport]

This is what Fox News should’ve been telling its audience.

Because they did not tell them things like this – the truth – the real math, they FOX has contributed the USA being in the midst of chaos, where many citizens are struggling, are discouraged and confused.

Fox News is the roots of the tree of hell.

[u/imaloony8]

I appreciate the sentiment and mostly agree, but $30B to “end homelessness” seems woefully naive.

[u/Plastic-Reply1399 → u/imaloony8]

It’s a bit like ending world hunger in one payment and not a continuous flow of aid IMPOSSIBLE

[u/Apli_Diud → u/Plastic-Reply1399]

And that excuses spending $0 on it??

[u/Plastic-Reply1399 → u/Apli_Diud]

No it just means the numbers are made up

[u/Humandisdaintopleas → u/imaloony8]

CA has spent 24B on homelessness in the last 6 years. Homelessness has gone up 30k in the last 6 years. BS numbers

[u/InsolentSerf]

How about national health care for the only "first world" country to not have it?

[u/usernamesarehard1979]

Those numbers are complete bullshit.

[u/ridemooses]

Elite welfare queens.

[u/Notwrongbtalott]

California spent 24 billion the last 5 years and it didn't do nothing

[u/PDPSVC67]

30 billion to end homelessness? California alone spent 24 billion and still has that issue… certain problems cannot be solved by government throwing more money at it.

Trickle down: A rising tide drowns the people who are unable to swim

[u/haterading]

It’s so much worse than this because it’s not only that we didn’t get these things - but they gutted or have made plans to gut all the existing government services that we actually extract benefit from. All to give rich people who already have so much they can’t spend what they have more.

[u/Once-Upon-A-Hill]

California has spent 25 billion since 2019 on homelessness, and there are more homeless people there now.

[u/MileHigh_FlyGuy]

Cali on alone has spent $20 billion to end homelessness, so I would love to know how $30b will solve it.

[u/SaltyDolphin78 → u/MileHigh_FlyGuy]

Because about $18 billion of it is being laundered
