I can’t argue with what gandalf said about welfare fraud- put the crooks in jail whether they are on the receiving end or the providing end of the program. I also agree with CDMA re. government involvement makes things worse. FEMA comes to mind and you have to wonder about the way the fires are being run. Why don’t they use fire prevention in the form of fire breaks, cutting dead and down timber and using inmate work crews. It worked for years and we did not have these Mega fires years ago. CalFire is bigger than ever it is the new mega bureaucracy and I do not think it is working.
