I’m a Democrat so see the social impact. Crumbling roads, failing schools, urban and rural poverty that has led to high crime and decades of varying drug crises. $7 trillion would go a long way to heal some of those wounds.

I empathize with Republicans in Texas & Arizona worried about border security. I may not agree with the social aspects but you know who isn’t worried about border security? Poland, because the US Military is there. $7 trillion would go a long way to make people at home feel safe.

The US usage of defense funds wouldn’t fly in American homes. It’s like telling my wife that I’m building free decks for all our neighbors, yet never pouring the patio slab she asked me for when we moved into our home. 10 years, $7 trillion.
