It's not Obama's idea. He wants to expand a program that was started under Shrub. later, Mark

Let's suppose there is a neighborhood street covered in grafitti and trash and it will cost a volunteer organization $ 100,000 to clean it and maintain it clean for a year or so. Let's say 10 different organizations bid for the grant. 1. Nation of Islam ( Farrakan ) 2. The Quantell X Club. 3. The Mormons 4. The Baptist 5. The Methodist 6. The Atheist 7. The Catholics 8. The Hell's Angels 9. The Rainbow nudist hippies 10. The Boy Scouts etc. How much money and time is the government going to waste to determine who is best suited for receiving the grant. What kind of corruption will take place. Who is going to check to make sure everything was cleaned up and accounting was done properly. Meanwhile the street just gets more filthy. I don't think his idea is any good. Can somebody out there convince me otherwise?
