'I always get the money from someplace regardless, it doesn’t matter,’

Funny how he can find the money for ATC but not SNAP.

More correctly: he can find the money for his gaudy as fuck ballroom reno, but not ATC or SNAP. He has a long and storied tradition of simply not paying people when he says he will, even when contractually obligated to do so.
