even in vacuum that argument is tbh empty because it is the same for any other public services. spending more money is important (and ofc I'm all for increasing spending in NHS, more social housing, public transport etc.), but so is spending it effectively.
say, you can spend billions on social housing, but if its quality is poor (i.e lacks insulation, quality of building materials is poor etc.) then it isn't efficient, no matter how much money you throw at it.
