Last year, Brookings had revenues of 29 million. The RAND Corporation had revenues of 157 million.
One year, one hundred fifty seven million.
Their grants and contracts for last year alone totaled 142.7 million. Sort of adds a new dimension to the idea of being "giant" and "well-funded", doesn't it.
I think we're kind of missing the point here. ACTA is well-funded for being an annoying little pressure group that tries to increase the heat around people who say things it doesn't approve of. It's silly to compare its budget to Rand or SRI or the NSA. And having spent a million to try and redirect $29 billion in alumni donations makes it a much bigger operation than the usual "Christians for Niceness" or "Mothers Against Baby Exploitation" groups most of us are sick and tired of hearing spew on news programs. -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:.
