Grants taking away taxpayer autonomy and control over spending

I subscribe to the Consumer Protection Agency for product recalls, and received an email about them awarding “grants” from them to government agencies.

Here’s the link. www.PoolSafely.gov 

These are the amounts given:

City of Huntington Beach  California $141,837.00 
District of Columbia Health Department  District of Columbia $64,530.00

The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool and Spa Safety Act (VGB Act), which U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-25) authored and championed, was passed by Congress and signed into law by President George W. Bush in December 2007. The VGB Act authorizes the PSGP, which provides state and local governments with assistance for education, training, and enforcement of pool safety requirements. 


Texas was awarded over $820,000!!

Florida was awarded nearly $600,000!

Illinois didn’t do too bad with nearly $400,000.

California was awarded less than $200k.

And Washington, D.C. came in last with $64k.

Does anything bother you about this? For one thing, California is a tourist destination and pools are a fact of life, but they were awarded much less than the other states.

Aren’t lifeguards trained to observe the drainage vents? Don’t pool managers and maintenance folks have training to regularly check the drains and filters??

I smell a big ole’ rat. It smells of boondoggle. Somebody’s palms getting greased.

But it is more than the amounts awarded.

I have been opposed to the “grant” system ever since the 80s, when they first began to be used.

One very upsetting incident was when the Art world was giving grants for really objectionable “art” that wasn’t really art at all!! A so-called artist put his urine in a glass container and inserted Jesus upside down, calling it “Piss on Christ”. Clearly a satanist and they were awarding grants for this garbage!

They took away taxpayer autonomy to decide what their taxes pay for. They took away the voice of the taxpayer to say “I don’t want my tax money to go towards this…”

It put the power of that money into the hands of selected grant distributors. Those grant distributors very likely put the money towards political allies.

Or towards secret society members. I know from my experience that they have been taking homes and jobs and money away from the Good Hearts and funneling it towards the evil ones who are members of the secret societies.

And when I saw the amounts of the grants towards Texas and Florida, red flags started going up.

And it’s being caged as “helpful” for keeping people from drowning in pools. They always use a “cover” story that people think is a good thing and secretly do something different when people’s attention is towards something else.

Oh, I’m sure that SOME of the money is going towards this…because they have to make it look legitimate, but then the rest of the money “disappears” with no one knowing where.

Just like those millions of dollars that “disappeared” just before the World Trade Center towers were hit on 9/11/01.

No one held accountable. No one served jail time for the theft. And you can bet those dollars went to secret society members and the evil ones.

What do you say, folks? Is it time for another Boston Tea Party, except this time it’s for real and not staged?

And even if you don’t own property or don’t have a job, you are still paying sales taxes when you purchase your needed items.

Grants are taxation without representation. A person or a group decides who gets the taxpayer-funded grant money. That is taxation without representation.
