It’s cute that you think we spend more on homelessness than it would cost to house and feed and take care of someone for a year.
I’ve never heard anyone argue that we should spend more on social programs to reduce the national debt. Kudos! I’ll vote for you when you run for office on that platform.

The constant fretting about debt.
We are always days away from some unspecified horror because the debt-to-GDP ratio is slightly higher than some other countries, yet data doesn’t support it. But we have to slash social spending. To prevent the thing from happening. Whatever it is.
But there’s always money for military and tax cuts for millionaires.
Hint: it’s racism. Or, perhaps, classism.
