CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY FEBRUARY 17, 2026
HERE’S A STORY YOU ARE UNLIKELY TO HEAR OR READ ANYWHERE ELSE. THE WASHINGTON TIMES REPORTS THAT THE BIDEN ADMINISTRATION AWARDED A HALF-BILLION DOLLAR CONTRACT TO AN OUTFIT TO CARE FOR THE CHILDREN OF ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.
THE NONPROFIT WAS POLITICALLY CONNECTED TO THE ADMINISTRATION AND HAD NO EXPERIENCE HANDLING SUCH A LARGE OPERATION. THIS, ACCORDING TO AN INSPECTOR GENERAL REPORT.
HEALTH AND HUMAN SERVICES DIDN’T HAVE THE SPACE TO HOUSE THE CHILDREN, SO IT QUICKLY APPROVED AN UNSOLICITED, NO-BID CONTRACT TO PAY $529 MILLION TO FAMILY ENDEAVORS, INC. THE INSPECTOR GENERAL SAID THE AMOUNT WAS MORE THAN DOUBLE WHAT IT SHOULD HAVE PAID AND DIDN’T KNOW WHETHER THE NON-PROFIT COULD DELIVER THE REQUIRED SERVICES.
THIS IS SO TYPICAL OF THE GOVERNMENT. THEY SPEND YOUR AND MY MONEY AND BORROW MORE AND ARE RARELY HELD ACCOUNTABLE. ALSO, IT’S RARE TO GET MISSPENT MONEY BACK. LOOK AT THE FRAUD IN MINNESOTA AND IN OTHER STATES.
THIS, IN PART, IS WHY WE HAVE A $38 TRILLION DEBT AND NO ONE IN CONGRESS IS DOING MUCH ABOUT IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
