“Federal money?”

Tina Griego’s column in today’s Denver Post, Poverty task force a study in dedication, shows how easily all of us have bought into the government scam.
She writes
[Colorado state Representative Ken] Summers intends to sponsor a bill seeking greater outreach to people who are eligible for food stamps but not receiving them. It would encourage partnerships with nonprofits in order to draw down federal money.

What is “federal money?” It is money taken from you, sent to Washington where they take a cut to pay themselves, then sent back to you.
“Federal money” is your money.
The scam is that the government has convinced us that it is their money.

What’s more effective?

Ted Pascoe is protesting the loss of funding for a homeless shelter he runs. No doubt, he does good work. He helps those that need it.

Tina Griego of the Denver Post writes about his protest in her Saturday column, “Call Pascoe’s protest homelessness light.” His protest includes living outside, as if her were homeless, for a month.
Instead of living outside for a month, I wonder how much money he could have raised making phone calls for a month and asking for donations.

This time, the government will get it right. They promise.

I don’t think Denver Post columnist Tina Griego would disagree with being characterized as “liberal.”

But even she, inherently, understands the problem with government control of any program. In today’s column, “Panel’s hard knocks may open doors,” she writes:
“I’ve spent too much time in poor neighborhoods watching people drown in myriad contradictory and confusing government policies…”

And yet, knowing this, and acknowledging this, liberals want the same government to take over health care in the entire country.
