Betcha those aren’t the “ real numbers “ ... there’s levels of poverty layered like an onion. As long as those bureaucrats have some numbers to work with, they can form a committee ( or several ) to discuss and give recommendations so they can form another committee to discuss the recommendations... then they can deliver their decisions on the previous committees recommendations— which will go nowhere because all the $$$$$ is in private bank accounts. And they’re oh so proud how they handled the “ Crisis “

Oh well, what’s NEXT on the agenda ?
