Here is a federal Child welfare grant for "community based service providers" being offered that should make you mad.
This is a Federal HHS social service grant for up to $500,000 for community services and the grants run FIVE YEARS long. We don;t know what the total funds available are, but I am guessing tens of millions of dollars.
This is clearly an attempt by the Obama administration to fund favored "community organizations" and run up the debt for socialism programs that extend FIVE YEARS in case Obama loses. There should be a law about offering new grants that run past an election cycle. Leave Children's welfare up to the State, not the Feds. All Federal grants should be outlawed.
