54. We all are on the side of cleansing and feeding captured children

however, the Senate bill that you are so excited about has zero oversight included in it.

So, they get more money (and remember, they were already getting over 700 dollars per human) and weren't able to provide more than toilet water and a few scraps at that rate. Do you honestly, deep down, believe that giving the same people/organizations more money is going to magically turn them into decent human beings who won't pocket their windfall?

The disagreement is about the level of trust that some of us have and some of us don't have in the money actually going to help anyone other than the already rich people who are getting it.

If you believe that it will help anyone, more power to you.

I don't. I believe that it will line some douchbag's pockets and conditions will either remain the same or get worse, since, as I said, there is no oversight provision.
