Political Quote

I'm not turning into a political blogger, and these days my politics are somewhat in question anyhow, but I heard someone say this on NY1 this morning. I thought I'd be able to find out more about who said it and what show, but I can't seem to -- looks like it was maybe someone from the NY Times so they don't let NY1 have the online rights to that show or something. Anyway, here's the quote:

"There is no God-given right for any organization to receive a grant from the United States government."

I think it says a lot about our country that a statement like that even needs to be made.
