re: #248 Decatur Deb

Check your sources. “Spending” on the poor isn’t delivering value to the poor. How much is spent overseeing the programs to prevent welfare Cadillacs and t-bone steaks?

I quite agree that the value delivered falls way short of the money spent. That’s the problem. If value were delivered, the poor would live better than the middle class. Obviously, they don’t.

Too-zealous oversight seems unlikely to be the explanation. Do we really have such hordes of drones, checking each other’s figures three times with pencil and paper arithmetic? No.
