Why Leftist Policies Fail

The Homelessness Industrial Complex

I was reminded of this video on another subject and wanted to post it here. The video is from a YouTube channel called How Money Works and breaks down issues with the Homelessness issues in America. They post videos about economic issues in our country.

I feel they give a fair and reasonable assessment in a short 13 minute video.

What I found interesting is the breakdown they give to explain why programs designed to address these issues aren't the right fix. Now maybe I am being bias in my title for this thread, but honestly I feel the left is far more guilty of this than others.

I also feel this is beats the drum on why government spending needs to be pulled back and just throwing more taxes and money at issues does more harm than good, even if that isn't the topic of this video.

Edit for those who can't watch the video at the moment*

Basically the video points out that states will spend the money to address an issue by spreading it out among multiple organizations, this reducing how much money actually goes to the issue. It also creates issues where people who need these services don't always know who exactly to go to because organizations have split responsibilities and can no longer easily assist those in need. In California if you need to be placed in temporary housing that is one agency but if you need help finding a job to afford to keep living there, that is a different agency. If you then need a food bank while you look for a job, that is now a third organization. Soon you have 8 groups doing a job that should be only done by 1 and that $1 million dollars of tax payer money is now split between the 8 groups to cover their overhead and the actual people that need help see very little money.
