This is after spending 450m on a tent in Florida that’s since been shut down. Turns out we did have the money… It’s just not for the people.
Likely 445m of that just went to pockets. The infrastructure shown there was in the thousands, not hundreds of millions.

It’s not like they need the funds to build it. If it’s anything like the gulag in Florida it’ll be shuddered only months after construction.
Yeah, Big Gubbermint spending large amounts of money to help people? What are you, a pussy?
That money and that Big Gubbermint is for punching down! Merica! It’s so grrr-eat now.
That’s about 240 million meals for schools and the less fortunate, or a year’s rent at the US median for about 50 thousand people or 6% of the unhoused population, or a year’s worth of healthcare for over 6,000 people at the median cost (way more than that if it just covered preventative care, which would lower the overall cost of healthcare).
