> The money should be spent on providing hope for people.

How do you suggest that would work? Obviously you can’t just buy hope, so could you provide some specific ideas?

Yes, develop an economy that is not run for rent seekers. Provide a job guarantee so everyone can work at a wage floor. Build housing stock that is actually affordable and desirable for anyone on a normal wage. Make sure healthcare is affordable and available universally. Provide schools that are good regardless of where you live or what you can afford. Those things would be a start.
