tj usiyanI need some people in congress to create a slide deck for what services could be provided for 200 billion dollars. Actually, let me clarify that I mean services that are not part of waging war. Services to citizens and constituents
R. Sabourin@griotspeak You could close every coal mine in the country and give every miner a $5 million pension.
@rsabourin Yes, this is good. More like this. Just extravagant sounding ideas that are unassailable in how clearly they would improve people’s lives. My only note: please list the remaining change
Rob Napier@griotspeak @rsabourin The median rental for a 1BR across the US is $1500/month. In 2024, there were estimated to be 770k unhoused people.
You could pay the rent for each person to have their own, individual apartment for 10 years, and still have $60B left over.
You couldn't *quite* buy them each a house of their own ($360k median sale price). About half would need a roommate/family.
