At this point so much big money has been caught up in "help" that you see NONPROFIT experts making in excess of 100k salaries, massive poverty bureaucracies are fighting over how to allocate the money at high levels, and private developers are stampeding for a taste of that taxpayer HUD pork since "public housing" so obviously failed. The only question now is which relatively privileged person gegs to turn on the spigot of public money while the GOP continues to fight to cut pennies from extremely poor folk.

The worst part of this has been that making the big bucks involves consolidation and centralization. Very few people are even bothering with what the poor actually need these days. It's always too complicated or inefficient. Real needs are often specific and off-center. Actually customizizing programs to meet them would save money. ( Though it might cut some 100k salaries). Gratz to these guys for seeing a real need and meeting it. Go street team!
