#2 If the audit finds egregious irregularities, claw back. Then watch the same pols who called tax cuts "crumbs" start talking about how paying back the misused funds is a "burden on the taxpayer." Bwahahahahahahahaha...

#3 You talk about train wrecks...

Lemme guess, the grant was awarded by the Obama administration?
