The area where I live in San Luis Obispo county Ca. got millions of dollars to help the homeless. It all went to "administrative costs", They used a few million for an office and most of the rest went to counting how many homeless there were and kicking them out of wherever they were staying. As far as I know not a penny went to actually helping them. My wife volunteers passing out food to the needy. They go around to grocery stores etc. and get leftover food to give out. This cost exactly zero dollars. If they can do this with no money then why can't the government do anything at all with millions of dollars?

Using the boarder to artificially increase property values should be considered a federal crime and should allow indictments of all involved!🤑
