I fully understand what ACORN is and why Obama wants to give them as much money as possible. I figure I know the truth of this as much as I need to.

But here's my serious question, because I really have no clue --

What is the theoretical reason why the US government should give 4 billion dollars to an organization called "ACORN"? I mean, what is ACORN supposed to be doing, and why is it considered reasonable that my tax dollars pay for that?

I really don't get it. To me, this is just a vote-buying, leftwing scam. But I'm sure there is some kind of excuse for it that they expect us to swallow. But 4 billion?

Its vote buying with tax dollars. Its funneling money into the ‘inner city’ but the money really goes to cronies and for vote fixing.

If this happens we can forget about Nov 2010 let alone 2012 or our measly freedom.
