The US could pay for it easily if we just made the top 3 wealthiest pay a normal tax rate (instead of 0%). Or if we just took it out of the bloated military budget. You know we spend more than (i'm pretty sure) every other country on Earth combined! We definitely spend like 3 times more than China and also more than the top 11 countries combined (excluding the US obviously, since we spend the most).

@Sshooter444 That's literally the ONLY point of a government! To "socialize" resources. Remember, that's what the military is, that's what healthcare is if you live in any reasonable country (US ain't reasonable) that's what roads, bridges, water treatment plants and pipes, schools, police, firefighters are, etc.

@Dee-ye2dk Developers have no incentive to do it since it's not profitable. The only way would be for the gov. to subsidize it, which would mean the gov. is involved anyways and almost certainly subsidizing the profits of the developer then.
