Hmmm... With logic like that, it is a wonder that you can hurl slurs at anyone else's.
Even "funded" is not the same as distributed. It seemed that his claim was that the money wasn't getting spent. Kind of like all that reconstruction money in Iraq and Afghanistan that has already been budgeted but not put to any use.
It is completely faulty logic to claim that "funding" equals distribution unless one proves otherwise. But you have already demonstrated that accuracy is not high on your priority list.

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.

It is completely faulty logic to claim that "funding" equals distribution unless one proves otherwise. But you have already demonstrated that accuracy is not high on your priority list. Give us a break. Perlstein make a comment about funds being "distributed" and to support this claim he linked to story that does not even contain the word "distributed" - that is faulty logic. The other points were to demonstrate Perlstein was wrong on many levels. This red herring of yours is silly
