If ACORN gets defunded, what other government contractors will also be defunded?

ὤTṻnde΄ӂ 2009/09/30 01:46:37
These are the contractors that will lose funding if ACORN is defunded.

The government awards contracts to companies with histories of misconduct such as contract fraud and environmental, ethics, and labor violations. In the absence of a centralized federal database listing instances of misconduct, the Project On Government Oversight (POGO) is providing such data. We believe that it will lead to improved contracting decisions and public access to information about how the government spends hundreds of billions of taxpayer money each year on goods and services.

Top 100 Contractors

First is contractor name, second is that contractor's fund from government. then the 3rd one is number of times fraud has been committed and finally, how much money was involved with those frauds they committed.

    My favorite part was when a govenor of New York or somewhere around there declared that he wasn't giving another dime to Acorn....only for everyone to later find he never gave one in the first place.


    What did Acorn do wrong? They helped poor people get registered to vote. And poor people usually don't vote for Republicans.

    It ain't gonna be the ones working in Iraq and Afghanistan; they outnumber our troops, cost more per person than our troops do, kill civilians, and build quarters that electrocute our troops in the shower. Their contracts belong to 'no-bid' Cheney. Let's just keep spending that dough.

    Let's defund ACORN because of an illegal 'investigation' instead of looking more closely into how the U.S. is paying billions of dollars to mercenary contractors and how they're wasting it. They're actually killing people on our dime and we don't give a flying rat's ass do we, Fox News?

    Let's allow Fox News to manufacture conspiracies and stir up ignorant racists to the point of violence instead of actually REPORTING the news and discussing IMPORTANT issues.

    Way to be.

    ACORN doesn't have "many" convictions, just a whole of allegations. Actually ACORN has never been convicted of a crime, workers have been but they were turned in by ACORN. I guess that's what you're saying with sarcasm.

    It's not a contractor, it's just a general statement.
