		<description>&quot;...federal money is most likely to go to those states that are most likely to spend it–that is, to liberal states.&quot;  Very interesting point.  

I&#039;ve spent the day researching how to get a grant to build a community garden in my neighborhood, considering how much garbage there is when you search for the word &quot;grant&quot; on the internet I have tried to limit my search to just political sites talking about grants or other intelligible information.  After reading your article here and several other sites. I&#039;m pretty sick of hearing how well the liberals are working the system these days and hope an end is coming soon.  

I&#039;m currently living in a very liberal state (after living in an extremely conservative state for 11 years.) I would feel guilty asking for a grant at this point.  I&#039;m also pretty sick, considering how much debt the Obama administration is incurring right now.  I read an article entitled the &quot;Rampant Spending of American Tax dollars&quot; at http://politicalfineprint.com/?p=5227  sufficed to say, a sickening and sobering look at the debt we are encurring for future generations.  

I know it is unrealistic to think federal funding, grants and other favors (earmarks) will not always be an intrinsic part of the American economy but it needs to be seriously overhauled.</description>
