WA Democrats Blew $20M On Immigrant Care To Cover Just 173 People

Washington State lawmakers approved nearly $20 million in long-term care funding earmarked exclusively for immigrants — and the program will cover just 173 people. The original projection was roughly 1,200. That works out to over $115,000 per beneficiary, funded by a state that is already drowning in obligations it can't pay down.Sean walks through the KUOW and Washington State Standard reporting on how this happened: a caregivers union lobbied hard for the funding, the math quietly fell apart, and now the budget line is on a glide path to $100 million per year. Meanwhile, actual Washington residents without long-term care coverage aren't in the conversation. The program didn't collapse — it just shrank to a rounding error while the price tag stayed full size.The broader picture is a blue-state spending pattern Sean has covered before. California is sitting on $437 billion in outstanding bonds and obligations. Washington is running the same playbook — super-majority Democrats with no revenue problem and a very real spending problem. New York is already cutting similar programs. The costs that don't fit the budget eventually land on emergency rooms, and on everyone else paying into the system.Subscribe to @reasonablenews and hit the notification bell so you don't miss daily episodes.#NFRP #WashingtonState #WaDemsGO PREMIUM WITH REASONABLE+ FOR UNCENSORED ACCESS 🌟https://ReasonableTV.com/🛍️ MERCH - https://Store.ReasonableTV.com/💬 JOIN our FREE Discord Community!
