infrastructure I agree, but we should just move funds to do that. healthcare and education are both already spending way too much on. healthcare is pretty obvious, but education as well we spend more than most other countries

Huh? Currently on mobile so I don’t have the CBO file to link but I will when I get to my PC.

Anyway, Healthcare spending is not actually “too much” and instead is too low. When we expanded Medicaid and implemented the ACA, estimated costs were below actual cost by hundreds of billions to one trillion dollars due to the unknown number of people accessing healthcare. Healthcare is the one area in which there is not enough money being spent on lower income brackets and Medicaid/Medicare users.
