Clinton Foundation Spent Barely 6 Percent On Charitable Grants

These are bribes, not fundraising to save children in Haiti which was totally ignored when the hurricane hit over a month ago. This whole thing stinks to high heaven. *The pittance going towards ‘charity’ is NORMAL these days. *All the grifters use ‘charity’ operations to loot and avoid taxes. *It is pure Mafia today. *They celebrate with each other, their victories over the plebes who donate to them.

She is stealing from the good hearted people who would try and help the poor. How can anyone expect a person with so little integrity and character to do the right thing when they reach the highest office in the world. It will be her personal swamp to steal from EVERY taxpayer and citizen. If you think you don't pay taxes, you do-through massive inflation and regulation, and it will get a whole lot worse under her.
great post. all one has to do is ask themselves why prices have gone up on all of the necessary items they buy - when inflation and interest rates are historically low. if Clinton is elected, EVERYTHING is going to get much more expensive. Forget income taxes - the pass-thru cost inflation resulting from govt. mandates and fake govt. jobs that don't produce anything is going to eat us alive.

I'd vote Republican if they moved to the left a little, and overturned some of their more conservative Christian policies on things like LGBT, Feminism, Sex Education, or Abortion. I'd prefer their more right-wing attitude, which would fall in line with how Indians (including the second generation) vote in Europe and Canada (right-wing).
This is a choice election. We don't have time to worry about going down the middle. Trump is the only clear choice if you wish for America to revive, to continue to be free (whatever freedoms are left, anyway), and to become prosperous again. A Clinton vote will usher in a new era of terror, dependence, and poverty like you never knew existed.

The choice can't be any more clear than that. We either save this country for at least four more years, or we lose it altogether. That's what it's become.

What would you like to see them do that is NOT already being done?

I take it you are a gay female.

Gay is the male on male version. the L in LGBTQ is for Lezbo, which is the female on female version, of the mentally ill.

There are many reasons to oppose Hillary. Your reason is not one of them.

There are 2 primary structures of charitable foundations, direct and indirect giving. The most common structure is indirect giving, whereby wealthy people segregate their own charitable giving and grant other qualified charities who in turn spend funds achieving their mission.

The less common structure is one whose purpose is to solicit grants and directly spend most funds achieving their mission. The direct funding charity is less likely to grant other qualified organizations because they are executing their own charitable mission.

The Clintons operate both types of foundations. They use a personal foundation to segregate their own wealth destined to be granted to qualified charities. The other is the direct charity that recieves grants and directly spends funds to achieve their mission and grant out only a small portion to other qualified charities.

Media charged to execute hit pieces on politicians have no incentive to do their homework. In this case, some media has chosen to not grasp that there are two distinct types of charitable giving/ spending.

Big $ granting tends to come with strings attached. Grantors will stipulate how funds are to be used and/ or that their own people and/ or products be used. For example Mr/ Mrs X grant $100 million to a Healthcare System to help build a children's wing. In return, Mr/ Mrs X expect naming right of the new wing. Furthermore, they expect the heating and cooling of the new wing to be purchased from the family company. The Healthcare System wants the grant and agrees to the conditions because they want a new wing.

International giving adds incremental layers to charitable giving. Some countries require their own people and products to be used to achieve the mission, instead of local people. This often leads to resentment by the local people devastated by a natural disaster.

If I recall correctly one of the donors to the Clinton Foundation was a manufacturer of trailer homes. This was the same manufacturer who delivered trailer homes to temporarily house the masses left homeless by Katrina. These trailer homes were subsequently found to be not up to code and law suits were filed. Fast forward, the company donated $X to the Clinton Foundation with the understanding the foundation would buy trailer homes from them and they did.

These trailer homes were transported to Haiti at the foundation's expense. The eventual occupants described them as tin cans because there was no AC. That they lived in worse conditions before the earthquake did not matter. That no one had AC before the earthquake did not matter. The masses wanted more.

Haiti is a historical corrupted political mess made worse by disasters. No good deed goes unpunished and all that. It was ( remains) so bad that the Red Cross pulled out. This infuriated the US masses who gave to help Haiti only to learn the Red Cross pulled out and intended to use funds in other needy areas of the world with less corruption.

As I said, there is no shortage of reason to not vote Hillary. The work of the foundation is not one of them.

Is there a decade with the exception of the Great Depression when there was no inflation? No matter who is elected, the prices of most thing will increase over the next decade, unless the US plunges into another serious recession/ depression?

Do you think that when people make more it does not have an impact on the cost of stuff? Wage does not matter. What your wage buys in your LOCAL economy matters. If the lowest wage was say $100/ hr that's just about what a Big Mac meal will cost.

Average Annual Inflation Rate by Decade

Industrial robotics are substantially more productive than human work forces.

Employment in the steel mills peaked in the 60's right before global competition. Today, 2 workers produce as much output as once too 12 workers to do. That's called technology substitution.

Do you really think a President and Congress are going to take action that would cause US manufacturers to be less productive and thus less competitive in favor of creating jobs?

Do you really think that another tax holiday will encourage more multinationals to bring more of their foreign profits back to the US to create jobs for the masses instead of investing in technology substitution/ industrial robotics and increasing shareholder value?

Deloitte &Touche's survey of CEOs of global manufacturers concluded the US is positioned to reclaim the first place in global manufacturing and China would fall to second place and do so by 2020. They based these conclusions on the investments made by US manufacturers in industrial robotics, not human manpower.

If this conclusion is realized whomever is elected tomorrow will claim they did it, despite that the wheels were put in place well before the election. Only thing certain is that tomorrow's factories will not be your daddy's factory that employed the masses of under educated, low- no skill workers under collective bargaining agreements.

No matter who is elected tomorrow, some things are certain:

Unprecedented conflicts of interest, and

Highest unfavorable rating, and

No mandate, and

An aging hound dog will sleep in the White House.

Any thinking person would NOT give to a charity that was only distributing less than 6% of the money they collected to actual needy people, and spending the rest on themselves and their high living.

The Red Cross, for the record, is equally corrupt. (although I am sure the volunteers are good decent people, who are being exploited by this pseudo-charity). They also scammed the people of Haiti too, and Pro Publica has done a lot of exposes on them: https://www.propublica.org/article/h...-built-6-homes

That was only one reason to not vote for Hillary, so here's another on Hillary's stupidity in Benghazi: (market ticker)

http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=231618

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ALLOW UNCLEARED PEOPLE TO HANDLE SENSITIVE INFORMATION.
LIKE ALLOWING YOUR MAID INTO THE SCIF.

THAT IS WHY IT'S ILLEGAL TO DO THINGS LIKE THAT.

Oh, you want to believe it was accidental? *Well, maybe grossly negligent-level*to the point that Hillary should have been charged with manslaughter, but if not, it was*intentional. *Why do I say that? Right here:
“One of those guards hired by Blue Mountain was the younger brother of the leader of Al Qaeda of Benghazi,” he said.
REALLY? *The younger*brother of the*leader of Al Qaeda in Benghazi?! *They didn't even check this bastard's*name!
From the referenced article:
“Think about it: Hillary Clinton's State Department actually hired the very people who, along with their jihadist allies in Benghazi, attacked us and killed U.S. Ambassador Chris Stevens and Sean Smith as well as CIA contractors Glen Doherty and Ty Woods,” Lopez said. (excerpt from the article at market ticker)

Not only that, but Hillary had the Orlando shooter's father on stage with her in Orlando-that was either stupid, mean, or insensitive-take your pick. For the record, I pick stupid, just as the entire Mideast policy has been under Hillary. We have a destabilized Mideast and increasing confrontations with Russia and Putin, which certainly isn't to our advantage, yet Obama and Hillary don't seem to comprehend this- or maybe they just like an endless war state, ka-ching!

people might want to watch this video, connected to some missing people, a dead ambassador, gassing of Syrians, and Hillary:

She really belongs in jail, and it's a disgrace that she is still running for president, and the liberals couldn't come up with somebody less ethically challenged than her. Oh wait, Hillary threw him under the bus too.
