I saw the video tapes where the Acorn counselors were advising people how to avoid paying taxes, condone prostitution, and condone under-age prostitution. Inexcusable.
So, the US Senate and the US House have voted to cut off funds to Acorn. But, it was a set-up, no laws were broken by anybody.
Now, when a Halliburton or Blackrock gets caught doing whatever horrible things they've actually been doing (without being set up), they get 'suspended' from future work. Then, when an opportunity comes up, the suspension is lifted.
I imagine Acorn's total national budget is less than what Dick Cheney made each year as CEO of Halliburton. Acorn maybe can't be as selective in who they hire as Halliburton.
So it goes.
