Raise social welfare spending

We’re spending just $846 per person on social welfare while our peers in comparable countries are spending $1,091—and that’s not even counting where they’re at now, because we know it’s only going up. These are our neighbors, our families, people barely hanging on, and we’re leaving them behind with pocket change compared to what the rest of the world thinks is normal, because politicians would rather nickel-and-dime us than do what’s right. We’re demanding $1,100 per person—not because we want to waste a dime, but because we’re 22% below where we should be, and that’s a disgrace when people are struggling to eat and pay rent.
