the state government has to give in their proposals for grants.depending on many factors, the fed govt forwards grants to those states.if the state govt really needs development more funds are allowed..or if the state is of national importantce like the capital, more funds are forwarded...

Interesting question.\n\nSince the nation's government is responsible for a certain amount of infrastructure, disaster relief, law enforcement, and domestic safety and stability it only stands to reason that they DO need money to get the job done.\n\nPeople do not take responsibility for their power in government. I don't know if it's because they don't know how, or if they want to bother, but, it gives them the perfect excuse to view the government as "running amok" over their rights.\n\nThe basic law(s) of the United States are contained in the Constitution which starts "We the People". It does not say "We the chosen few, and only us" or "We, the entitled ones". \n\nThe framers gave us the power to take part in our government. \n\nEach state makes it's own Constitution that only has to be in accordance with the national Constitution. The people in each state are responsible for electing (hiring) local city, county, and state representatives to execute the business of the city, county, and state in accordance with their wishes and to be their (the people's) representative in Washington D.C.\n\nIf people do not exert their power over their local officials, then they cannot complain when we get laws they don't like, or when we have a President that they feel is out of touch with them.\n\n"American Politics" has turned into a game that seems based on money only because people apparently can't be bothered to participate in governing the country.\n\nPeople taking back their power "does not" mean demonstrating and saying hateful things. The Japanese have learned this and the American Indian has learned this. \n\nYou take power back by getting educated enough to beat the oppressor's at their own games - using their laws.\n\nIt's so funny that Americans will spend hours and hours reading up on how to beat a computer game and then more hours and hours playing the game over and over so that it actually begins to resemble work. And what do they get? Some "rep" that means little when you have to pay the bills.\n\nWhy can't they do the same to ensure the continuation of their own freedoms?\n\nI wonder if you'll even read this since it doesn't necessarily fit into any of the "politically correct" ways of thinking from either political party.\n\nAnyway, hope this helps.\n\nAdded: \n\nPerfect example below. People can send for proposed bills and get a free copy mailed to them so they can study it. Then they can get other like-minded people in the community to lobby against it.\n\nHow many times do you just brush by someone at a grocery store, etc., that has a petition to sign? If you never bother to read it how do you know if what they are petitioning is to your benefit or detriment?\n\nIt's not the government's fault if people insist on putting education, and participation in government, aside so they can party all the time.\n\nAnd yes, some of the representatives in government fervently hope that you stay focused on parties, sex, clothing, makeup and the false tension between political parties. It allows them to do things you'd be outraged at if you only paid attention.\n\nUse your people power. Pay attention to the correct things and get involved.

Don't believe that, and throw the postcard away.\n\nThe only legitimate sources of information on grants is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) http://www.cfda.gov and Grants.gov http://www.grants.gov - these are two sites created by the federal government to provide transparency and information on grants. Browse through the listings and see if you can find any grant that would support your objectives (if any).

considering the number of the population on welfare i would say no such agency exist. let me ask you, if you are hiring entry level laborers and of course paying them entry level pay, possibly minimum wage.....how does that get them off of welfare? minimum wage isnt enough to support a family without government assistant. you must have one hell of a corporation and i do applaud you taking the intuitive to make a difference in the life of some families. kudos to you.

The federal government is specifically laid out in the constitution of the united states. it has grown through laws passed by congress and through judicial interpretation of these laws, for instants, congress has the right to oversee interstate commerce, judicial review says that they can now shut an  establishment down if they aren't handicapped accessible, and so on. a local government regulates everything else from property tax to speed limits to zoning laws. You have a direct say who runs your local government where as you vote for a representative to voice your opinion in federal matters.  This could literally take weeks to go over but I hope you get the basics, read up some government web sites on US democracy or get the cliff notes on Tocqueville's Democracy in America, an old book but a knowledgeable one written by a Frenchman.

What funding are you referring to?\n\nNative American reservations are self-sufficient and actually considered independent nations. Some receive aid just as any impoverished nation receives humanitarian aid from us.\n\nYou might be referring to funds that are lease payments. For example, it was determined part of Carowinds was actually on Cherokee property in S.C. years ago. This error was determined to have been caused by the state; therefore, lease payments will be paid to the Cherokee nation forever.\n\nAlso, some politicians give funds to Indian nations to support their casinos because those casinos trickle down revenue back into their states.

You really have waited until the last minute for such an assignment. It would seem to me that you would easily find what you need by looking at newspapers and/or news magazines in your library either in school or in your community. Maybe you can ask for and receive an extension that will give you the time you need. Good luck!!\n\nChow!!

changing an entire country takes a lot more time than changing one person. That change can start with you. Help people whenever you can, because giving is recieving, and what you will recieve is much more than what you give. The government of course is partially guilty of not doing enough for such things, but you have the power here. You can talk to your representative in the senate or your congressman (i think thats what they are called in the usa).

That is a good story.\n\nBut, one reason for Government is to provide goods and services that can be a "collective action problem" or "free rider problem".  In a society, there will always be examples of the entire public good being improved by small contributions from every resident, while the entire populace would be greatly disserved by ignoring those contributions.\n\nA good example is the interstate system, (Thanks Eisenhower!) or the National Defense. A small contribution (i.e taxes) from each individual can add up to insure that goods and services can travel around the country, and that we don't get invaded.  \n\nIn current terms, we have two choices. A) give relief in the form of monetary aid to Hurricane Katrina victims on the gulf coast, with each citizen making a relatively small sacrifice in the form of taxes or B) choose not to give that aid, and watch tens of thousands of people suffer, through death , illness, bankruptcy, etc.\n\nI think most people believe we have an obligation to provide relief to some, but we all seem to draw a different line in the sand about what constitutes a "small contribution". \nFor example, it's expected that an additional $120 billion will be allocated to the Mideast war(s). That's about 350-400 dollars per American citizen. Is this a small contribution?\n\nEvery person draws their line differently.

In a natural disaster the emergency services go into reaction mode.  The current system has local government taking the key role.  Every service is suppose to have a disaster plan.  When a disaster happens, a lot of agencies start moving because no one has the resources to handle a large scale disaster.\n\nAs far as the federal government, they really don't have a large role, they are mainly check writers.  They come in and ask what you need then send someone out to buy it.  Most of the actual aid will come from local, state, national guard, and near by states.\n\nAfter Katrina though this might change.  What happened in New Orleans was the local government got overwhelmed and the rest pretty much is history now, notice you didn't hear much out of Boluxi who got hit by the stronger part of the storm.  Plus some of the check writing turned out to be huge waste of money.\n\nBut your local government (City, county and state) should have a plan for any feasible disaster that might hit their area and should be practicing it.  I am a paramedic now and in our drills we will go so far as to drop trees across the roads to test how quickly we can clear them or get around them.

Private donations, and offerings from congregation. separation of church and state makes it, illegal for state local, or federal , governments to give financial aid
