The US could make homelessness a thing of the past with a minuscule fraction of what it is spending on the military. It is very much a choice.

DoD spent $1.43 trillion in FY2026

Around ~1 million homeless in US

Let’s say it costs $10K/month/person so $120K/yr/person. Probably a big overestimate but gotta include healthcare and help people with long term stability.

That’s 120,000 x 1,000,000 = 120,000,000,000 or $120 billion USD.

Idk what the Nth order effects would be but yea I think what you’re saying tracks in the numbers
