Why don’t we spend the money on earth to explore and solve problems?

At the risk of being ‘nitpicky’, ALL money spent on space research is spent on Earth.

“Why don’t we spend the money on earth to explore and solve problems?”

You know how many politicians that would push off the gravy train?

“Space” problems are almost always the same problems we have on Earth.
Take the subject of this post: long term induced comas.
That is an Earth problem: solving it will lead to saving of lives here, on Earth.

Money solving problems is so quaint.

These days when humans spend money they just make problems worse.

"Why can't we spend that money solving problems on earth before going into space"? A common question. My response:

Earth will always have problems, but we will never advance if we spend all our resources on present-day ones. Would we have solved any of our stone age problems by remaining in the stone age?
