Shell games. Yes, indeed. Take the money from the taxpayers. Hire government agents to help distribute the money to those who apply. Pay for their health care with the tax money. Buy them vehicles to drive around in with the money. Rent big, expensive buildings to house the government agents with the money. Pay them handsomely with the money. Buy them all computers and other office equipment and supplies.
Skim off a lot of the money and redirect it to help pay the expenses of other government agencies.
Lucky if a nickle on a tax dollar actually winds up helping anyone.
