There is a fallacy that "if only we can get X% more of our budget" we'll fix the government services. You can't fix the hole by throwing money in it. Efficiently spending the money they already get should be the priority.

Butt... the medicare is unfunded. Well why is it possible to have high-quality medical services in Thailand with international doctors working there, but not in the US with absurdly high/hidden prices for everything? Fix the medical market first, then ask for more money.

The whole argument in this article is backwards...

And btw, the inflation is indeed eating the cash too...

Printing money is a tax on cash (and other uninvested funds.)
