That video got 2 million views. President Trump invited Shirley to the White House. The feds froze $185 million in payments.

HOW DO YOU LOSE $70 BILLION?
The COVID Money Heist: $32 Billion
The federal government gave California $285 billion for COVID relief. That's more than Portugal's entire economy.
What happened? Fraudsters took $32 billion. Just... took it. California's EDD was so bad at checking claims that scammers filed unemployment using names of prisoners, dead people, and celebrities. Someone filed under Senator Dianne Feinstein's name. IT WORKED.
Another $820 million? Literally expired before anyone spent it. An immunization grant ran out in June 2025. Nobody noticed.
The Homelessness Black Hole: $24 Billion
California spent $24 billion on homelessness (2019-2025). Result? Homelessness INCREASED.
Best part? They don't know where the money went because they didn't have a tracking system. A new law requires data collection. First report? Not due until February 2027.
They spent $24 BILLION (that’s $133,000 per homeless person per year) before building a system to track if it worked.
The Train to Nowhere: $18 Billion
California's high-speed rail was supposed to connect LA to San Francisco by 2020. It's 2026. They've spent $18 billion. Tracks connecting major cities? ZERO.
Congressman Kevin Kiley: "We are very close to Silicon Valley, and yet the government can't figure out how to make basic technology perform."
