You can't spend your way out of trouble but investment with a long to mid term plan not only gets you out of trouble it maintains itself you're less likely to get into trouble in the future, the holistic benefits of a better off society are manifold and cheap in comparison to spending proactively, prevention is cheaper than reaction, a simple policy that would save the NHS billions would be for every adult to have an annual physical and mental health check up, increasing to 6 monthly once you're over 60, the real expense to the NHS is treatment and hospitalisation this policy would catch many potential issues before they got to that stage.
