“A $3.9 million federal grant awarded to the California Department of Food and Agriculture”
There’s that word again, GRANT! We would have a balanced budget in a heartbeat if we eliminated ALL GRANTS, Including the one’s to the UN and every little $hit hole country on the planet.
Interesting comment. We really need to re-examine this whole GRANT thing and put the Genie back in the bottle. Its out of control and tremendously wasteful. It also takes huge bureaucratic infrastructures to dole all this money out.
So many progams in the government are wasteful, redundant and mismanaged. The spending could be dramatically cut in short order if the political will was there.
