93.604 Assistance to Torture Victims

http://www.cfda.gov/public/viewprog.asp?progid=1476

PROGAM ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
In fiscal year 2001, 26 grants were awarded. It is estimated that 26 grants will be awarded in fiscal year 2002 and 26 grants in fiscal year 2003. ORR estimates that 1,200 torture victims are being served.

------------------------------

This is a great Federal program that was desperately needed with a whopping 1200 torture victims in the entire US. I bet this group can't wait for their next at bat when another torture victim is found.

I read there was $920,000 FY 03 for African elephants and my first though was WHAT ABOUT ASIAN ELEPHANTS!!!!! Government elephant racists!

Then I read down a few lines and saw they get $920K, too

If anybody on this board can read this list of boondoggles and then say with a straight face that "tax cuts are the reason there are deficits", I'd like to hear from them.
