This is the problem, we don't agree on the solution. You said

> e hostile policy positions towards social safety nets and foundational services (e.g. education, healthcare, childcare??).

Except the USA spends more on education than most other countries.

That would argue the issue is not about spending, at least for education, it's something else (not sure what)

I agree though on the general idea that something has to change. Housing in unaffordable.

I said "hostile policies", not "lack of spending"; you jumped to your own partisan conclusion.

Policy and spend have to align to make progress. Spend alone is useless as is policy without spend.
