Yes and ive heard millions of americans say that our system hasnt worked for a long time so the "not going to last for several years" is already better than ours
Yes i understand that the US government has many many other deep failings that result int this not being the case for our country but we gotta start somewhere if we wanna be as good a them someday
In 2023 the American government spent 843 billion on the military.
In 2023 Sweden spent 13 billion on its justice system ( thats the entire system but for simplicity sake we'll say it was just the prison/Rehabilition system ( which is included in the justice system but as a smaller part and likely did not receive the whole 13 billion)
sweden's population: 10 million
USA population: 330 million
divide 330/10 = 33
we need 33 times more
429 billion dollars
China, the worlds second heaviest spender on the miliary spends roughly ( though a little less) 300 billion dollars.
Meaning if we reallocated the money form the military to the justice system, we could finance it just fine and still be the worlds leading military spender by over 100 billion dollars.
Plus the USA already spends 300 billion per year on its justice system, so the total number needed moved would be way lower than 429 billion dollars. With that addictal money though, we could revnote and fix the system, which might take a decade of extra spending but after that it will fall 429 billion and it will be easily paid
rarely are they criminals, other than the crime of coming here illegally ( only sometimes ofc, sometimes they are here perfectly legally but i digress ) which is an objectively stupid crime.
Also rarely is it the safest thing for them...
America is built upon the idea that no human is naturally better or more important than any other, thats why we are equal under the law. Therefore immgraimts and citizens are equal and their needs should be considered equally as a natural byproduct of the law
