108.  I know why they don't write about "welfare pimps"
...it is because these non-profits depend on private donations as well as the government contracts they get and even their critics are afraid if the fraud and waste were to get out, then people would stop donating, as well as perhaps losing government contracts. They are ALL scared to death that the truth will come out and then there won't be ANYTHING for the poor. I have heard this again and again from well meaning advocates, "SHHHHHH! Don't say that too loud Cat or somebody might investigate and then there won't be anything ..."

I am not making this up.
