You can easily get the rest from just pulling from the military or even better seizing the obscene wealth of the billionaire class and fix this overnight but noooooooooo billion dollar vanity projects.
Off-topic, but that number is one of the things that made/makes me absolutely hate the billionaires in this world. People like Bezos, Buffett, or Musk could end homelessness or world hunger tomorrow while not even really noticing the hit to their wealth, but they all choose instead to spend it on destroying the planet instead.
Homelessness and world hunger is the source of their power, they use it as leverage to force other people to enact their will. Ending hunger will diminish their power, and so they will never do it.
At least my billion dollar vanity project, building Castle Von ThunderCastle, would provide countless jobs and a place to live for all those willing to join my ruthless terrorist organization

Nah it wouldn’t, like 95% of Americans give 0 fucks about the homeless
