Letter: Utah risks having more homeless than donors

There was a time when the terms millions, billions and trillions of dollars were not commonly used unless it was a catastrophic event. Now it seems as though a million dollars is like pocket change, a billion dollars is like some folding money and a trillion dollars means one can make a small deposit in the bank.

As I am reading the words of Lt. Gov. Spencer Cox regarding the homeless, “I don’t believe there's $40 million of need out there,” I agree. If there is a need for $40 million, there is something wrong with this state.
