[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ Sorry my math was bad, it was $13,000 each.  Same point though.[/quote]

Honestly it’s not much worse than dumping money on endless homeless services where we all know that involuntary commitment is about the only effective measure with most of them. 
Not saying I support it; what I want to say is that so much of govt spending is money down the drain anyway [/quote]

THIS ^^.  I guess the PP would prefer we continue to flush money away on "root cause" BS.  [/quote]

Not dealing with root causes is like trying to deal with a deep gushing arterial wound that can only be fixed with surgery by just putting a bandaid over it.[/quote]

You realize we've thrown money at "root causes" for decades and decades.  How'd that work out for us?  [/quote]

[b]No we didn't.  [/b]We did a lot of other crazy shit under the guise of "helping" but it was usually stupid "war on drugs" crap or CIA funded coups with massive black budgets that had absolutely nothing do do with stabilizing our neighbors to the south.  But it did make a lot of American contractors and other connected people very rich.

See, I'm not talking about that stuff, I'm talking about actual change, which we haven't actually tried.[/quote]

Wow, are you clueless.  This is just the tip of the iceberg:

"Key U.S. government agencies, consisting of the Departments of State (State), Agriculture, and Defense, and the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) allocated a total of about $3.7 billion in assistance for Central America from fiscal years 2013 through 2018."

"Vice President Kamala Harris unveiled an additional $310 million in U.S. aid to Central America after a virtual meeting with Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei on Monday, as the two countries agreed to work together to control migration."
