In fairness, if you ask people of basically any industry whether their industry needs more money, they will always say yes. Teachers will always say we’re not spending enough on education, police will always say we’re not spending enough on police, business owners will always say we’re not spending enough on them, etc.
The budget was for a decade of spending. That’s how it got to be over a trillion dollars in the first place. Depending on future appropriations that may or may not occur isn’t policy, it’s just wishing.
And yeah my memory was a little fuzzy. But it’s not exactly painting a rosy picture.
Great. That’s about 5 trillion less than we need. The US Army Corps of Engineers estimates we need 3 trillion just for emergency repair projects.

My memory turned 2.6 into 3. But yeah, we’re not even keeping up maintenance.

And yet teachers have to buy school supplies out of their own pay, and we have news footage of collapsing infrastructure.
Teachers shouldn’t have to do that.
No they shouldn’t. My point is some of these industries really do need more funding.
