Of course that is the simplistic answer, she is a political candidate not an economist.
You may think that those are unwise investments of tax dollars but look at how those dollars are currently spent and what we get for our investment as a society.
Do you also think she is incorrect about how Congress is bought and paid for?
There is this peculiar notion that if private business entities charge so much that not everyone can afford their product it is because they are too greedy. But if public entities are "unaffordable" for all, it is because everybody isn't paying enough.
