ACORN Eligible for $4 Billion in Obama's Fiscal 2011 Budget
Topics: Political News and commentariesThis sounds like a bad dream; surely Congress couldn't be so corrupt as to handover more money to President Obama's favorite activist group, ACORN; or could they!
Yep, they can be, and indeed are that corrupt:
ACORN and other left-wing advocacy groups could be eligible for up to $3.99 billion in federal funding included in the $3.83 trillion fiscal 2011 budget blueprint that President Obama unveiled yesterday.Read it all ...The $3.99 billion comes from a congressional slush fund known as the Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program, which is part of the Department of Housing and Urban Development's (HUD) $48.5 billion fiscal 2011 budget. CDBG grants, which are awarded to states and localities, pass indirectly to ACORN.
How is more funding of ACORN possible when Congress passed a ban on funding the group and its affiliates just last year?
Congress has already hinted it might vote to restore funding to ACORN. On Dec. 8 the House Appropriations Committee rejected on a party line vote of 9 to 5 an amendment offered by Rep. Tom Latham (R-Iowa) that would have blocked federal funding of ACORN.
Why am I not surprised! After all, Congress has been covering up ACORN corruption all along:
