If he wants to throw several tens of billions to hire all those medical and social workers, fantastic. Well done. It's gonna put a dent in his plans to balance

If he wants to throw several tens of billions to hire all those medical and social workers, fantastic. Well done. It's gonna put a dent in his plans to balance the budget, but it would be in an excellent cause. If you're gonna spend all that money, we can do better than tents. So I can't help but suspect that those "large parcels of inexpensive land" are far away from civilization (and the attendant jobs, grocery stores, cultural programs, communities, etc.), impossible to leave, and suspiciously short on doctors and psychiatrists.
