Spending money on worthwhile endeavors is a good thing, but you have to have the money to spend in the first place. If you don't and you just kick the can down the road it puts a much heavier burden on future generations. We need to get serious about raising taxes on those who do not pay their fair share.

Except, the money is being spent on a bloated military budget while US keeps cutting social services and other kinds of productive spending.
