I agree. I also think that governement, at all levels, can and should assist and facilitate the ability of people to make projects like this happen.

Again, you say there was a waist of 30% of the money. I am assuming you are just making generalities and don't actually know anything more about the specifics of the relevant transactions than what is revealed in the article. I am most certainly not arguing that the feds (why are you so hooked on the feds? I was just quoting the article) are efficient money distributors. I would suggest that sometimes, even with its inherent inefficiencies, govt. gets it right and when it does it should be applauded. Again, is that so hard to agree to?
