We now know that the fraud, erroneous payments, and outright theft from federal grant programs are an epidemic. The Trump administration issued the strictest ever proposed rules for the hundreds of federal grantmaking programs doling out hundreds of billions of dollars each year. Here are some of our favorite clamp downs:

• Curtail Federal grants that are unaligned with Presidential Executive Orders and policies.
• Mandate that evidence of fraud must be provided to the U.S. Attorney for DC [so the criminals can be prosecuted].
• Prohibit grants that push disparate impact liability theories, discriminatory event services, Diversity Equity and Inclusion (DEI), gender ideology…
• Wipe out Green New Scam grant requirements .
• Forbid grants for voter registration campaigns, issue advocacy, or political activities.
• Impose requirements on NGOs to provide their IRS tax code qualifications; makes agencies identify what type of scientific research they plan to fund; makes grantees subject to for-profit rules if a grantee receives 90 percent or more of their funding from grants.

Not bad!
