This Just In: Block Grants Lead to Cuts
History says as much, over at PostEverything. The connection to Rep. Ryan’s new poverty plan is left as an exercise for the reader.
Rep. Ryan receives a $174,000.00 block grant from the federal government which never goes down or is unfunded. Proof positive of the effectiveness of the block grant policy. [If only the Fed would do something about that pesky inflation]. I can almost feel the love of the GOP wonks, almost.
We should only expect cuts to occur. Once anti-poverty programs do their jobs and get people out of poverty, those folks no longer need anti-poverty programs.
In a rare moment of worthwhile insight Representative John Burton noted that converting Model Cities monies to Community Development Block Grants would eventually result in the money disappearing. It did. I believe that this happened in the 1970s.
