I can agree with that concern.
There's got to be a better mechanism. And there can be. Never trust a Republican with a block grant.
Back in 2002-2003 I qualified for Job re-training under TRA. They gave the money to Jeb Bush in a block grant, and he decided not to use it for the earmarked program, and instead used it for tax cuts for the wealthy.
Let the Federal government implement it. It takes more assholes out of the equation.
