Sure but that's kinda my point. If they did this analsysis why isn't it blasted everywhere?

I've never seen a politician mention this kind of (we spend x for y returns) discussion or a doc on it holistically.

It's obvious to most people to invest money can give you more in return but that's not really discussed except peicemeal for one program at a time.

It's not blasted everywhere because economics doesn't really resonate with people, I think. It comes up during government budgeting sometimes
