Don’t even need to increase taxes to do that. Feds could close tax loopholes and make rich people pay their fair share of taxes and that would pay for it. maybe take a fraction of the overblown military budget. Or they could just print more money. It’s ridiculous that this nationwide crisis is pushed down to states and municipalities that are usually already strapped for cash.

I mean I agree with everything else except print more money, that’s a terrible idea and what leads to inflation

Not if you invest the money in things that help the economy. It’s certainly more risky than than the other methods but it’s something. I’m mostly just pointing out that the feds for sure could solve this issue if they wanted to without raising taxes. They just don’t want to
