ACORN Eligible For $4 Billion In Federal Taxpayer Money in Obama FY2011 Budget


Yes, you read that right.
 
Even with all its troubles, the ACORN organized crime syndicate is eligible for $4 billion (well, really $3.99 billion in CDBG slush funds) in President Obama’s fiscal 2011 budget.

Who knows.
