The 'about time' comment is correct. Several years ago, Insight magazine ran a story about how various groups were receiving $$$$ from the fedgov, i.e., a lot of the environuts, that group that is a seniors' group, etc.
Only worse than the giving of our money to any of these groups is the ARROGANT REFUSAL TO PROVIDE ACCOUNTING!!
...."This is part of the
give and take of democracy," said Michael Replogle, transportation director at Environmental Defense, a nonprofit advocacy group. "Government agencies have a role to play" in reaching out to the environmental community, he said".....
Government agencies sure do play a role....they take from the American taxpayer and give it to the socialist bastards who can't stand on their own two feet and beg for private funding of their losing ideals!!!
