The point isn't that the government would be cutting checks to the homeless, the point is that if they did it would be more money than most Americans have. Therefore the fact that they are spending that much means there's clearly something seriously wrong with either the way this money is being spent or the people it's being spent on (or most likely both). Based on my admittedly limited experiences with government I'm going to go ahead and assume that the amount of money ACTUALLY spent per homeless people will be a fraction of that with the majority going to a bunch of useless administrators making $200,000/yr. At least that's how the school system around here manages to blow so much money so I assume it can't be much different in this case.
