I have a bunch of ideas for how to spend $5 BILLION and a wall aint one.
$5B would cover repairs to Puerto Rico’s power grid.
$5B would cover medically assisted opioid addiction treatment for over 750,000 people.
$5B would cover federal funding for Planned Parenthood for a decade.
$5B would cover costs to Flint’s water system...90 times.
$5B would cover the salaries of school nurses for 2 years.
$5B would cover Medicare prescription deductibles for 12.3M seniors living in poverty.
$5B would cover the cost of replacing paperless voting machines across the country...12 times.
And to really bring it home...
$5B would cover the cost of repairs for all of Philly’s public schools OR $5B would cover the backlog of repairs for SEPTA.
$5B would cover the cost of one year’s worth of textbooks for 3.1M college students from low-income families.
$5B would cover the costs of updating/modernizing the electronic health records system of the VA.
