Passages like this kill me. The writer is obviously biased and the implication is that federal funds are good, because the federal government is the source of all righteousness, goodness and equality. I know, I know, the money has strings attached and there are laws in place but the mention of the cash is always a tipoff to the ongoing objective: the federal protection racket for special interests.
every radical leftwing hate group gets federal funds it seems, their partisanship never seems to be a problem
