Executive Branch Pork, Part 3
This is another blog entry that is intended to take a look at federal spending, specifically on billions in grant money handed out each year by Uncle Sam. In this case, the focus is on some of the grants awarded by the Department of Education.
This information was gathered from the Department of Education web site.
One might argue that if these projects were in a Congressional spending bill, there would be lawmakers referring to the spending plans as "pork barrel" in nature.
That's why I refer to grants like this as, Executive Branch Pork.
Just about every federal agency is given a pot of money for certain grant programs - this is just one that happens to post its data on the internet.
The size of the grant award is listed, along with the basic reason for the award and the state that it went to.
These grants are "discretionary" - they are awarded based on need and a review by the Department of Education.
Other grants are awarded to the states by using a formula that divides up a larger pot of money approved by the Congress.
Remember, just because these projects are listed here does not make them bad or wrong - this is just a list of some of the projects funded by the feds with grants in education:

What others are saying
- Try Some FactsThis is not the Recovery Act. TRIO Upward Bound is college prep for high school seniors, not pork. Maybe the program should be expanded to include "adults" such as the ones who seem to comment here.
- How Much for What??How much of this from the "Recovery Act" did anything at all to help the economy recover? What is TRIO Upward Bound and how is it a recovery stimulus? How does money to "Independent Living" facilities stimulate anything? Are they buying Viagra?
- Pork SpendingThis information is a step in the right direction, but incomplete. What we need to know is how the money is spent by the recipients on this list.
- $1If the hospital accepts the $1 then it accepted government funds and the feds get to tell them how to operate. They must abide by federal regulations that wouldn't otherwise apply as a private business.
- $1Not sure, but I would guess that a nice non-offensive grant like $1 is your ticket to the pork barrel. Then next year you are already lined up at the trough maybe its easier to expand it?
- What is the deal with the $1 grant to the Children's Hospital Corporation? Is there some political advantage to giving that grant?
- $1I've been taught that, at a restaurant, when you have bad service, instead of leaving no tip, it is better to leave a $.01 tip to voice your displeasure. Is this what the $1.00 to the BOSTON CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL CORPORATION is all about? Obama voicing his displeasure in the recent Massachusetts special election?
