A mess of uncertainty and litigation is sure to follow.
With $162 billion more from taxpayers, couldn’t you deliver a few bond upgrades, too

This is some of the most disgusting theft I’ve ever witnessed. What kind of assholes can look these people in the eyes and feed them paper plates of moldy food while taking home $20K a month? The only thing worse is war profiteering.
This is why I said a while back that the numbers don’t add up. A family of 4 is getting the equivalent of approx $92K a year. There is no way this is costing that much to house someone in a shelter or in a tent. Cash cow for a few and sleeping on a cot or floor for nearly all of them.
I’ve been talking to migrants for weeks. Most are staying at police stations or in an open room with cots. Most fight over two bathrooms and get fed garbage food on paper plates. These open rooms are extremely loud and there’s no way anyone could sleep peacefully with kids screaming and phones ringing.
About a third of them have dental correction braces that are most likely the result of ambitious medicaid policy. This is a cosmetic procedure, completely unrelated to health, that costs between 3-7K over the course of treatment.
