Lewiston, ME: another huge government grant for
special people—you guessed it—Somalis! by Ann Corcoran 10/3/16
Do you think
that maybe the Obama Administration is literally breaking the bank to give your
money away before it clears out of DC for good. Just the other day we learned that a Somali
‘community’ group was given $300,000 to combat sexual abuse in the East African (that’s what they
call Somalis when they don’t want to use the ‘S’ word) community and now this!
The USDA has awarded
a $400,000 grant to help Somalis eat better and reconnect with their roots! No
kidding! From the CTPost: Curbing food insecurity!
LEWISTON, Maine (AP) — The United States
Department of Agriculture is committing nearly $400,000 to increase food access
for the Somali community in Lewiston. Limited food access for Somalis in Lewiston?
Members of the Somali Bantu community
in the city are partnering with the Cumberland County Food Security Council on
the project.
The funding is expected
to support Somalis’ agriculture and help them reconnect with their cultural
heritage.
The USDA says the objectives of the
project include building the capacity of the Somali Bantu community and its
farmers to produce food and address the problem of limited food access. The
agency describes the Somali Bantu community as the poorest community in the
city, which is the second largest city in the state.
Cumberland County Food Security
Council will recruit people in the community to help increase access to healthy
food. I wonder is Maine’s Republican Senator
Susan Collins involved in this giveaway too?
By the way, the next time you see one
of those articles in which the resettlement industry brags about how refugees
bring economic booms to struggling towns, remember this! In the case of
Lewiston, there is now an additional $700,000 sloshing around the
community. But, it is still tax money coming from the money tree growing
in Washington (joke of course).
It is not that the Somalis have helped
the economy in the way the industry wants you to think—it is basically welfare
dollars flowing from your pockets to theirs!
