Someone's funneling that money into their personal bank account. Or, administrators are making huge salaries. Probably a little bit of both.

When I was taken in 93 it was $265 a day. What is this $1,536 a day going to?

Someone's second home in Aspen or a private island.

Per year? For each kid? That is criminal in itself! Send me one of those kids and that same amount of money and I will raise them right.
