This, unfortunately.

People in this thread are confusing "what could theoretically fund a program like this" vs. actually implementing it. Getting members of congress to draft provisions, agree to even talk about it, much less even vote on it to pass it, is what it takes to get it done. That's not happening.

I appreciate some people are very optimistic that certain things will change for the better, but I’m too realistic/cynical/jaded to have much hope. Maybe when I see our political system perform basic functions without all out wars over the tiniest things I’ll have more faith.
