Spending more - giving less...

I've been looking into the expenditures on social services since the provinces took over.
Interestingly enough, BC spends more on social services now
but recipients get LESS benefits than they did 10 years ago, services are inadequate, more people are homeless, hungry, more people are living with disabilities but not being funded as a disabled person, etc.

The money's all going to the fat cats running privatized "service provider" businesses.

a sick society is created by bad government not bad economics or any other excuse.

20 years ago I never saw anyone sleeping outside
Social Services actually made sure everyone had a place.

People sleeping outside without a home is BAD GOVERNMENT.
People working minimum wage jobs that don't pay their rent and transit costs then working additionally over 8 hours a day in another job just to cover survival
is BAD GOVERNMENT.

There is no excuse.
The money is getting poured down the guzzling throats of rich swine, while the ground fills with the disenfranchised above and the bodies of the poor in the ground below...
