"Never try to teach a pig to sing, it wastes your time and annoys the pig."

Anything and everything you say falls on deaf ears. She is a democrat which means guvment good, business bad in her world.Take a look at one 'program', the Head Start Program. Started about 40 years ago to increase the reading level of preshoolers. Here we are 4 decades and countless dollars later and reading scores are lower than when the program started. Now to most folks they would just say give up, but not dems. Gotta throw more money at it. That's the problem, we aren't spending enough!!

I noticed the list above contains 3 billion for 'child care assistance'. What a joke. I read just last week about 3 sisters in Madison, WI, that have vollected over 500K in three years babysitting each others kids. One actually got shild care payments for her kids, because, guess what, she was busy keeping her sisters kids!!!! One was being paid for 'overnight' care while one sister 'worked night shift'. Her listed job was a retail outlet dress shop. And some guvment beaurocrat approved the payments without ever checking. When the reporter went to inquire at the 'dress shop', they had never heard of her, never open past 8pm, and NEVER had a 'night shift'. Thats ONE case, in one town. Wonder how much of the 2 billion these gals can get?

but the saddest part of all was when the agency itself was confronted. They didn't care. They defended the case workers (imagine, a guvment union employee defended another guvment union employee) Whats more was they said AFTER looking in to it, that nothing would/could be done becasue they were only following the rules that were in place at the time. They did however implement and employer verification program. WOOHOO!!

And now there is a Trillion $$ added to the prize pool.

And before you even ask Hound, I don't have the source now. I read the article from a Drudge Report link. Search his archives or google if you demand sourcing. I am NOT going to do your research for you.
