When should we be using "to me", and for what occasions are "for me" better?

Take for instance the following sentence:

"It's a no-brainer to/for me that schools should be subsidized by the government."

You are expressing an option and I think “to me” would be more idiomatic here.

It’s a no-brainer to me that schools should be subsidized by the government.

You could also make a point differently.

I find it obvious that schools should be subsidized by the government.

It’s obvious to me that schools should be subsidized by the government.

However, I am not sure if “for me” can be equally suitable here. I found a related answer that may make it more clear.
