Areas the government could spend money productively
Amazon.com is working on "Amazon Prime health care", presumably, a very effective health insurance.
Maybe governments can outsource health coverage to Amazon.

Science and research is always productive! Take a look at the last 10000 years, the countries/groups that get to breakthroughs first almost always end up better off/rich as hell. I'm a physics geek though, so I'm straight up 100% biased
As an example, right now we have nuclear fusion as a source of energy in research stages, but the country that gets there first will rake in the money.

Sustainable agriculture and environmental safety regulations!
Climate change is real! We are leading our world to its death. Human activity has caused a biological annihilation at a rate unseen for millions of years!

I think that the U.S. government would do well by providing something like the U.K.'s "Council Housing" for people who would otherwise be living on the street, in the parks, and under freeway overpasses.

We're going to have a glut of seniors and senior healthcare over the next 20 years.
One of the things that blows my mind right now is that someone developed toilets in Japan that can screen urine for early stages of cancer anytime someone uses the restroom. If it's that easy I'm a bit stunned as to why we aren't all lining up, heck - as an insurance requirement - to get our urine tested as such every year. In a way we have fewer and fewer excuses for cancer to be caught anywhere later than stage 1 or stage 2. This is one of the areas where I'd really like to see the government get involved - ie. huge step up in preventative health care distribution and implementation.

The U.S. government has already spent billions to provide 6 by 8 feet of accomodation and three meals per day to over two million residents.

That's far too efficient. Don't you know it takes 8 years of medical school before a guy can take a take a urine sample and send it to a lab, read back the results from the lab to the patient, sign a form saying I can take 2 days of work due to having a cold, or sign a form saying I'm still ok to drive with my unchanging medical condition.
If only they didn't waste so much doctors time on form signing they'd have more time to devote to sick people.
