Guards, case workers, management for guards, management for case workers, fuel for travel, water, food, electricity, clothes, soap, cooks, janitorial services, etc. Many people see that number and visualize that much money going into the pockets of each individual child, but that's far from the case.

This doesn't mean there isn't unnecessary bloat (it's the federal government, it's a given), but that amount isn't all that far outside the realm of possibility.

Same reason it takes millions upon millions to keep a witch hunt going.

Nearly everything the government does that isn't defense-related should be outsourced to private enterprises.

That $775 could be drastically reduced while providing the same services.

The economy of scale would reduce individual cost as more are added to the centers.

For $775 a day I have 2 empty bedrooms I'll rent them
