Tying into my post on homelessness being a profit center for the Democratic Party, here’s a Louis Rossmann video that discusses a homeless shelter in New York City that:
- Bills the government $3,500 to $4,000 a month to
- House the homeless in a literal shithole (with visible feces in one picture of the place), and
- By an amazing coincidence, is run by a non-profit founded by Andrew Cuomo and now run by his sister Maria Cuomo Cole.
(I think that this is the news story he reads from at some point.)
“The top executives of Help USA earn $200,000 to $375,000 a year, and many of them have contributed heavily to NY Gov. Cuomo’s campaigns.”
“Board members associated with various homeless shelters have gifted the governor $322,972.50, while donors associated with Help USA, a shelter service provider founded by the governor and chaired by his sister, Maria Cuomo Cole, have ponied up $451,285 in donations.”
Thirty five hundred to four thousand dollars per month per individual for people to stay in shitholes like this. This is being done so that the people who run these charities can pay themselves insane amounts of money and get away with it. And the reason that it continues to happen is because of the incestuous relationship that exists between many of the people who run this not-for-profit, and the people that run the state and city government.
“This is an incestuous and disgusting relationship.”
He proposes a voucher system instead that, while it would be an improvement, A.) Is inferior to actually letting the free market build free housing, something New York (city and state) actively implements legislation to prevent, and B.) Would never be passed, because government homeless programs exist to transfer money from taxpayers to Democrats. That, not helping the homeless, is their primary purpose.

Minor tweak: Bills the government $3,500 to $4,000 per person a month …
Sheesh. The gov’t could literally give homeless people $3500-4000 per month, and most likely be better off than this. Not that that would be a great system either, but a damn sight better than this one.
I earn 1/2 of that amount and have 2 cars and a decent house. Helping the ‘poor’ has become a scam for politicians and their friends.
Fixing the problem is NOT the goal.
Maximizing the graft is.
