Eating the Future

I agree with Alex Usher here but I wonder about the framing. He writes, " we never spend time talking about expenditure now vs. investing in the future... all our policy discussions are about how to avoid investing in the future, and spend money now, in the name of 'affordability.'" Now at the risk of being called "crackers" I would depict quite a bit of the discussion as being about the future. It's pretty much the main focus of this here newsletter. When we talk about making education accessible to all, that is a discussion about the future. But my main question here is about agency. Who is framing all these debates in terms of whether the government can afford it? And why are we letting them get away it with it?
