How It Really Works

This guy Childers writes well and has fun doing it, too!  He notes that Trump's latest Exec Order removes grant-spending authority to senior political appointees (who report to Trump), rather than Departments.

Why?

 ...If there is one single, supreme scam the Democrats have perfected, one master grift by which progressives have hollowed out budgets, looted the treasury, bled taxpayers dry, chewed through the Constitution, and rammed their social engineering down the world’s throat— it’s the grant game.

The playbook is simple: incorporate a bunch of “non-profits,” load up a series of grant applications with magic liberal buzzwords, and watch taxpayer cash gush in. You don’t actually have to stage transgender operas in Colombia— just promise you will try. As the budget has swollen fatter and fatter, grant graft has become a cottage industry of theft and grift, with billions of partisan largesse tucked away in the budgetary nooks and crannies.

Not to mention even darker and more dangerous grants, like gain-of-function research in communist China, censorship non-profits in the U.S., and color revolution cash for foreign countries— all used to pay former government officials to do things with their “charitable nonprofits” that the government itself was prohibited from doing.

Anyway, once your grant-writing operation is up and running, and the grant money starts flowing in, you pay yourself a fat salary, funnel some love to ActBlue, do some deep state dirty work, and toast the rubes from your Italian villa. And on alternate weekdays, you hire some cheap Indian call center workers to type up even more grant applications....

You should read the entire column.  It keeps getting better.  

Yes, Republicans grift a lot, too. 

It's a big club, but you are not part of it except for the "PAY US, SUCKA!!" part.
