The governments of countries that stupidly don't have single payer healthcare and the local governments punishing the unhoused for existing rather than adequately helping them find housing.

They help them find housing in other states.

No. Forcing them to leave โ‰  helping them in any way and even if it they wanted to, they don't have any say on housing allocation in other states.

The government doesn't use tax payer money to fund things. They could pay for both. The money is created out of nowhere by just raising the balance of people they're paying. "We can't afford that" is a fiction.

But if we just increase taxes, they won't use it for more bombs and more raises for themselves, they'll solve all the worlds problems!

Like the second was ever going to happen, even without the first one.

The real second option is "cut taxes for our rich mates".

America once upon a time bombed their own citizens. Seriously.
