The fact that a lot of the money for the MCC sits in accounts would be because of the bureaucratic red-tape that countries have to go through to qualify for MCC money. I personally know of several projects in one country that were not funded due to the stringent controls placed on qualifying countries for MCC money. Any DATA Report that mentions the MCC will show in dollar amounts how much that was proposed for the MCC each year and how much was actually allocated for the program and the two never gel with each other. I'm sorry if my wishing these women well in their efforts to help the women of Burkina Faso bothered you. I actually think that you have the ill-informed, self-righteous attitude. I attack no one in this Blog and would appreciate the same in return. We can discuss differences, Bob, without falling into acrimony like you have here. And to tell an unemployed person who is actively looking for a job in this downturn economy to "get a job" is just plain cruel and heartless, Bob. There was no need for that - not unless you wanted to "cut to the heart" which really would be in humane. Please check the rules for posting in this Blog because you are in violation of them. Coexist please. AS ONE, debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org I’m sorry Bob but there have been many posts right here in the ONE Blog that would disagree with your position.

The money literally sits in accounts. Do your homework before you decide you need to give the whole world your 2 cents on every single post. There's a lot you don't know and a lot of misinformation you're spreading. Read a book, get a job. Find something else to do in your life beside spread ill-informed , self-righteous attitude.

I was wondering what had happened with these proposed cuts. The MCC is such a GREAT program - I don't know why the Congress keeps mucking around with it. It has never been properly funded since it was started five years ago and one can only wonder just how much more good the MCC could do if given proper funding. I encourage people to look hard into the faces of the women of Burkino Faso. You can see hope and happiness but you can also see concern in these women's faces. These women are undoubtedly concerned about how they fend for themselves and their families in the future. In their eyes, I see the reason WHY I am in our movement to end extreme poverty. Take a hard look into these women's eyes and see if you don't find your reason to be AS ONE in their eyes also. ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org Thank you very much for this update on the cuts made to the MCC to buffer disaster relief elsewhere in the world.
