There has always been billions of dollars "available" in grants. One can get grants from both federal and private sources. Its not the spreading the wealth principle. But to actually get those grants is the kicker. You have to do and prove some pretty amazing things to get them. I know people that have tried. The only people making money in the grant business are those that are selling the information, like on the website, on how to get grants. And then there is that tool you see on the infomercials with the fuc* ugly suit selling you the Grant Book. I know a guy that bought the book and SOB, there are some pretty good "sounding" grants out there, but to get them, for get about it.
