I love Grants, they do not cost tax-payers a cent, so many people think. There is always a catch to a grant it seems, in that there is a requirement for the future attached, which cost taxpayers even more money.
ReplyDeleteGrant Mentality:
ReplyDeleteHurry up! Hurry up! spend the money or it will look like we don't need it.
Another fine example of wasted taxpayer money. Of coarse the folks on the receiving end probably think it is a great. The federal government cannot just keep throwing money away like this. It's time for everyone to say enough is enough! Keep the money and pay down the debt. If we don't stop spending now, our next generations will surely live in poverty.
