Surprised no one comment on the Welfare angle: "How they are paid in gold Just to babble in the back room All night and waste their time". Indeed money flowed to fuel the drug addiction and dole. Heroine users don't work.
@YaddaMinski I think this line is about prostitution. One of the PR's is writing back home telling them how great everything is, (but it's really not), so they lie and make up stories about how they're really making their money.

@YaddaMinski as tennisluvr pointed out: Fagen isn't saying this scenario actually happened, he's saying this is the story they tell the folks back home in PR in order to reassure them that everything is going well and they're doing fine. Which of course it isn't.
