Total EU defense spending is around $450M USD. The US defense budget, prior to 2027, is about $950M USD. Are you saying the US could have all those social policies for $500M USD?
- kasey_junk 4mo agoYou aren’t counting the VA in your spending. That’s another 450 billion.
- rescbr 4mo agoThe US could simply give away $1 M per resident, removing the need for social policies and it would still come out cheaper.
- sokoloff 4mo agoWhere does this ~$350 trillion dollars come from?!
- jbverschoor 4mo agoExactly where all the dollars came from :D
- ImJamal 4mo agoThe US has around 340 million people. Giving a million dollars to each one would be 340 trillion dollars.
- econ 4mo agoThat sounds like a great idea. It would devalue the dollar a bit but you can print new price tags. Just create a new similar shit coin
- avidiax 4mo agoThe US could have those benefits for free. Single payer would be drastically cheaper than the current system. The other benefits are just policies that slightly reduce GDP per capita based on a first order analysis. We are able to afford so many other subsidies, so unclear why housing would be different.
