Congressman Billy Co-Sponsors Bill to Give Infrastructure Improvement Grants to Fraternities and Sororities

With the United States facing over $14.3 trillion in debt, one would hope Billy Long would live up to his promise that he is "fed up" of wasteful government spending. Each day that goes by, it's more obvious Billy Long was never fed up. If you need proof, look at what the "no earmark promising" Republican co-sponsored on March 31, 2011.

HR 1327 offers grants to college social clubs for infrastructure improvements. We are talking about fraternities and sororities.

OpenCongress describes HR 1327 as amending the Internal Revenue Code to allow tax-exempt charitable or educational organizations to make collegiate housing and infrastructure improvement grants to certain tax-exempt social clubs (e.g., college fraternities and sororities) which apply such grants to their collegiate housing property.

Of course many of these tax exempt charities and education organizations receive federal money through grants and earmarks for improvements and operation costs, and this bill appears to free up restrictions that prevent this federal money from winding up in social clubs like frats and sororities.
