I would suggest doing research on that subject. The US has one of the world's largest, most expensive social safety nets. The primary problem the US has isn't spending on its social safety net, it's not controlling costs properly (as with healthcare in general) and not directing its spending effectively enough. The US spends approximately the equivalent of 40% the entire EU economy on its social safety net. This new spending is a tiny drop in the bucket compared to the existing US spending on its social safety net. It's precisely why the US poverty rate and US homelessness rate are comparable to Canada and France. Because the US spends very large sums of money on its social safety net. It's why the US spends $650-$700 billion each year on free healthcare for the poorest 25%. It's why the total government expenditures in the US are now $8 trillion every year. What do you think that's all going to? Roads? Military? Total government spending in the US is almost 40% of GDP.
