    Have you ever read about any athlete or celebrity’s charitable foundation? 99 out of 100 of them are complete disasters that never have much charitable impact. I agree with Joe the AG is trying to get their name in the paper and fire up the voters.

        It's a fascinating theory given that the current attorney general isn't running in the upcoming election.

          But the key to modern conservatism is projection. It's exactly what they'd do if they could (and will do when given the opportunity) The last 18 months has shown this.

            IIRC, the Clinton Foundation scored high by charitable foundation rating organizations.

                It certainly brought in plenty of revenue.

                  I'm talking about the metrics they use to rate such things, such as the percentage of revenue absorbed by administration, the percentage that is used for the stated charitable purpose, etc.

                    Well there's $100K from the Trump Organization we know actually got spent on actual charity work then. Someone's head is going to roll for that.

                      They weren't just a pass through foundation (like the Trump's) where money in went out, they did their own in-house charitable work too. I will easily admit that a straight up accounting of the numbers definitely doesn't look good for the foundation. I mean, they're not Wounded Warrior bad, but still...


                      What I wonder about the Trump "charity" is how they were able to give out more money than they took in. I thought the books had to be balanced? Unreported income to the charity?

                          You can have balanced books with a negative cash flow.

                            Yep. He didn't even get a painting, signed football helmet, or anything else in return for his donation!

                              Well, eventually it would need a source of financing to correct. Or just declare the charity dissolved and tell the creditors to take a hike.

                              *edit* It's been 13 years since I took accounting classes, and I haven't had to think about cash flow, accounting, ledgers, write-offs, etc. since then. So I totally defer to your knowledge.

                                Yes, it's all about time periods when it comes to balance sheets, cash flows, and solvency. If he had brought in $10MM in 2005, spent $8MM that same year, but only brought in $6MM in 2006, while spending the same amount, they would be at $0, but have shown ($2MM) in cash flow for 2006.
