Will the money actually be traced and accounted for?? Or will it find its way to varios pockets and accounts? Like so many aid packages. There is a reason why the government has cept the country at certain economic levels. It is called a welfare scam in more common terms. Except the ones who skim the welfare money are already in power and wealthy criminals. It's a crime and a shame.
