GAO report stings Bush's faith-based initiative

Who the hell didn't see this coming?

This was as predictable as the NOLA levees breaking.

This is almost as bad as taxes going to kill innocents in Iraq and other places for a failed foreign policy that could only have come out of minds never touched by anything but theories of war and control.

It is against everything I believe, it is against my experience on this earth, it is against my consicous, the very fiber of my being, to, in any way, support fundamentalist evangelizing on the public dime.

WorkingForChange-GAO report stings Bush's faith-based initiative:

For years, President Bush has being going around the country touting his faith-based initiative, claiming that it has been achieving remarkable results delivering social services to the needy. Few reporters bothered to ask what the president he meant by 'results.'

Well, the results are in on the president's Faith-Based Initiative and it doesn't look good for Team Bush. A new report from the Government Accountability Office (GAO) has affirmed what many critics of President Bush faith-based initiative have long asserted: too many religious groups that have received government grants have been mixing religious activities with their social work; and the government has not yet established a concrete process to monitor grant recipients to see if they are being effective.
