Is this too good to be true? The actual de-funding of the entire military industrial complex? It seems according to The Huffington Post that’s what the Anti-ACORN bill could actually do.

The congressional legislation intended to defund ACORN, passed with broad bipartisan support, is written so broadly that it applies to “any organization” that has been charged with breaking federal or state election laws, lobbying disclosure laws, campaign finance laws or filing fraudulent paperwork with any federal or state agency. It also applies to any of the employees, contractors or other folks affiliated with a group charged with any of those things.

In other words, the bill could plausibly defund the entire military-industrial complex. Whoops.

What makes this whole debacle even better is Representative Alan Grayson (D-Fla) noticed the broadly written bill and started a list of companies that would be affected by this legislation.  He’s even made it available on a Google spreadsheet so if you know of anyone or any company that should be on the list “so that judges can reference it when determining whether a company should be denied federal funds.”

It is about time that the government does something right!  It’s also very refreshing to see that Alan Grayson is there to pick up on it and make things easy for the courts to uphold the law!

I can’t help to be laughing hysterically and wonder what law makers are going to do next.  Will it pass the Senate?  Will Obama sign it into law?
