Free in Name Only
When I read that the Handyworker program was free of charge (Feb. 29), I was delighted that our government was being so generous. Then my calculator pointed out to me that the “free of charge” service cost the taxpayers of the city of Los Angeles and the United States over $4 million. Where I come from, that is not free of charge.
It is thinking like this that runs states like California into the money problems we are currently struggling with.
