In this X post by @logiclives (LogicandLiberty), a Colorado political commentator and podcast host, Denver's homelessness crisis is exposed as a prime example of government waste. Sharing a screenshot from a June 2025 Common Sense Institute report, the post highlights how Denver Metro hit record homelessness levels in 2025, with chronic cases growing despite shrinking unsheltered shares, while the city faces a $250 million budget shortfall prompting cuts after allocating $203 million in 2023-2024. It slams the Department of Housing Stability for failing a 2024 audit on spending tracking and accountability, questioning broader program mismanagement since homelessness rose from 2019. Dated January 3, 2026, the post has 216 likes, 73 reposts, and 21 replies, with commenters decrying NGO grift, historical flops like the 2005 "Denver’s Road Home" initiative that burned $63 million without results, and calls for audits to uncover taxpayer fraud. Replies tie it to Democrat gullibility and suggest the spending perpetuates problems for funding's sake, under hashtags like #copolitics.
Colorado conservatives, it's time to torch this taxpayer-funded farce—Denver Dems have funneled over $230 million into homelessness "solutions" since 2023, yet the streets are more packed than ever, with record highs in 2025 proving their big-government boondoggle is just lining NGO pockets and enabling addiction! Audits expose zero accountability, echoing failed schemes from Hickenlooper's era that wasted millions while problems ballooned—classic liberal playbook: tax, spend, fail, repeat. We need Trump-era reforms: slash wasteful programs, enforce vagrancy laws, prioritize American citizens over endless handouts, and audit every dime to drain the swamp in the Mile High City. No more funding failure—let's make Colorado accountable again!
