Los Angeles City Council just approved a $14 billion budget that perfectly captures everything wrong with government priorities. While slashing police hiring and fire department funding, they're celebrating keeping homeless spending at "only" $7,000 per person per month—down from the previous $17,000. Is anyone surprised they're calling this progress?We break down how LA officials are doubling down on failed policies while creating a structural deficit, using emergency funds for regular services, and building $1.5 million per door micro-units that most city employees couldn't afford. Meanwhile, the fire department sits with 100 unused rigs they can't afford to repair, and police hiring gets cut in half during rising crime.With 75,000 homeless individuals costing taxpayers over $525 million annually in this program alone, where exactly is all this money going? Councilwoman Tracy Park called it "wasteful spending" and "a taxpayer boondoggle," but the budget passed anyway. What's your breaking point with government waste?
