Portland Bureaucrat CRIES, Blames Capitalism After $3B Homeless FIASCO
from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds
A Portland bureaucrat literally cries on camera and blames capitalism for the city's homelessness crisis—after spending THREE BILLION DOLLARS in five years while homelessness skyrocketed 150-200%. You can't make this up. City Administrator Michael Jordan refuses to mention drugs or mental illness, instead pointing fingers at "wealth distribution" while Portland's streets overflow with addiction and untreated mental health crises. Meanwhile, other cities that don't coddle the homeless industrial complex somehow manage just fine without spending billions on failed policies. Portland spent $700+ million in a single year and saw homelessness jump 67% in two years. Their response? Cry, blame capitalism, and ask for more taxpayer money. No accountability, no mention of drugs or mental health, just progressive ideology running the city into the ground while businesses and residents flee. Is anyone surprised that treating symptoms instead of root causes doesn't work? How many more billions will they waste before admitting their housing-first, harm-reduction approach is a catastrophic failure? Subscribe for more government accountability and policy reality checks that the mainstream media won't give you.
