Download The Poverty Industry: The Exploitation of America's Most Vulnerable Citizens AudioBook Free
Government help doesn't always go where it's supposed to. Foster care agencies team up with companies to adopt disability and survivor advantages from abused and neglected children. State governments and their revenue consultants use illusory strategies to siphon Medicaid money designed for children and the poor into general condition coffers. Child support repayments for foster children and people on open public assistance are changed into government revenue. As well as the poverty industry keeps expanding, giving us with nursing homes and juvenile detention centers that sedate residents to lessen costs and improve profit, local governments buying nursing homes to adopt the facilities' federal aid while the older languish with poor attention, and counties selecting companies to mine the poor for additional money in modern day debtor's prisons. In The Poverty Industry, Daniel L. Hatcher shows us how state governments and their private industry lovers are profiting from the cultural safety net, turning America's most susceptible populations into resources of revenue. The poverty industry is stealing billions in federal help and other money from impoverished people, abused and neglected children, and the disabled and older poor. As coverage experts across the political spectrum issue how to best composition authorities assistance programs, an enormous siphoning of the safety net is occurring behind the displays. In the face of these abuses of electric power, Hatcher offers a highway map for reforms to realign the practices of individual service agencies using their intended purpose, to avoid the misuse of open public taxpayer dollars, also to ensure that authorities aid truly reaches those in need.
