Absolute nonsense. We spend nothing of the sort. We are not even pretending to approach it. Sounds like you're getting your hot takes from Christopher Rufo misinterpreting the Puget Sound Business Journal speculation a couple years ago.
The lies spread by Rufo and his ilk certainly contribute to the unwillingness to do anything, by making people confidently delusional about what currently exists.
I am constantly amazed at Americans who seem to think that XYZ is an intractable problem with no solution, without bothering to even look outside their borders and notice the fact that almost no other country seems to have the same problem, or at least the same problem at a similar scale as the US.
