100% Accurate

When I make a serious mistake, I correct it. Earlier this week, I analyzed Club for Growth’s latest ad. I found most of the claims to be correct, but was downright puzzled by their assertion that Larry Grant would raise Welfare spending based on his Project Vote Smart NPAT where it listed categories of spending, Mr. Grant put maintain status by “welfare”. Andy Roth of the Club for Growth shot me an e-mail and referred me to the Welfare and Poverty section of the NPAT where Larry Grant embraces two spending ideas:

b) Increase funding for child care programs.

e) Support housing assistance for welfare recipients.

As Project Vote Smart even put these under Welfare and Grant supports new spending, the ad is 100% accurate. Sorry, for the error.
