Girl in the Rain. A Displaced Seattleite Wandering the Globe. Tuesday, June 14, 2011. Laying it Out There. At 8:34 pm by graceandpoise. With my own friends and family, I can make the case for how teensy a piece of the federal budget is taken up by our foreign affairs and foreign assistance efforts. However, I’m the first to admit my own efforts don’t go very far. Enter, the Obama White House’s brilliant idea of a tax receipt. Sunday, May 22, 2011. At 3:43 pm by graceandpoise.
