I am of two minds
About this grant writing. You see, there are two kinds of grants. You have the philanthropic grant, which is made by individuals or companies to cut down on taxes, then you have the government grants.
The government grants is the ones that get me. I wonder how much lower our taxes would be if we didn't have all of these billions in what is known as "transfer payments" where collected taxes are paid out to another person or company. Over half of our spending comes from these transfer payments. But here's where the dichotomy comes in, these programs are needed to get essential programs such as mine off the ground to help a lot of people.
The governmental grants are also a lot more complex. They can take up to a year to write, can be several inches thick, and have crazy requirements, such as "sign in blue ink." If you were to sign in black ink, then the proposal would be rejected.
Don't worry, just me wondering.
