Genuine question, where does this money go? Nothing is improving. People are still in a lot of college debt, college fees are not getting any cheaper, kids still aren’t getting free meals in schools, roads still look like shit all over the country, transportation is still absolute garbage, and don’t get me started on our healthcare system. Again, where does that money go? I really would love to know, not trying to argue, I just want to know.
The really funny thing is that these are almost entirely domestic sectors.
Like, seriously, investing in healthcare, infrastructure, education…these should be no-brainers. Every single dollar invested into these gets spent multiple times within American borders, through American businesses and American laborers, and has real tangible returns like “a well educated workforce (and education==higher income==higher income taxes; and also more spend on sales taxes, real estate taxes, interest, etc)” and “healthy living people” and “transporting goods and services for sale”.
But you’re talking about good things. Good things means better society. Better society means more power to people which means our lords the billionaires class won’t have as much control over people to syphon more profit out of them. If you have not heard of the channel “second though”, I’d highly recommend you watch some of his videos. He’s not perfect, but he does have some good topics. One of them is this about why a lot of people are poor.

This is such an obviously untrue statement. Come on. Nothing is improving? I’m sure that it varies wildly by state and who’s running the state, but in my state it seems like there’s constantly roads, highways, bridges, etc being repaved, rebuilt, rerouted, or otherwise improved in some way. I’ve seen a few new schools pop up in my town and they’ve been working on renovating some of the older ones.
Student loans, school lunches, public transportation, and healthcare are outside the scope of the original post that I was addressing.

I don’t know what bubble you live in, but it certainly sounds good. I’ll just move next to you to get some of that American dream y’all got there 😂
Nothing improving? Things are getting better all the time!
