"Even "funded" is not the same as distributed. It seemed that his claim was that the money wasn't getting spent. ... It is completely faulty logic to claim that "funding" equals distribution unless one proves otherwise."

The burden of proof is upon you, and it is upon Rick. I've made no claim. Rick has.

Between the two of you, only a single source has been posted to support any of your claims. That USA Today source says only that $2 Billion out of $15 Billion (over 5 years) was funded last year.

Thus, the only posted source so far...says nothing about a lesser amount being distributed.

Ergo, Rick's claim and your banter is unsupported by the only source that either of you has managed to post.

Rick says taht only $300 million was distributed.

Prove it.

"I've made no claim."

Sure you did. I quoted it. You can retract it if you want. But it seems you'd rather just run away from it.

I repeat: "I don't know if it has been spent, distributed, funded, burned, or flushed. What I do know is that one does not equal the other, and that it is disingenuous to cite to an article that says one thing in support of a completely different proposition."
