'''Federal funding''' is [[funding]] provided to an [[entity]] by the [[Big government|Federal Government]]. Entities which accept federal funding often have a [[conflict of interest]] when it comes to issues dealing with the government, because they don't want to lose their funding.

'''Federal funding''' is [[funding]] provided to an [[entity]] by the United States Federal Government. Entities which accept federal funding often have a [[conflict of interest]] when it comes to issues dealing with the government, because they don't want to lose their funding. Insidious forms of federal funding include:

 

*[[Public schools]]

*[[State government]]s

 

*The [[National Endowment for the Arts]]

*[[Tax-exempt]] religious institutions — since that is equivalent to receiving the same amount in federal funding

 

*[[Tax credit]]s to private citizens

 

Recipients of federal funding are subject to terms and conditions beyond those that are imposed on society at large. For example, [[Title IX]] of the Higher Education Amendments Act of 1972 imposes requirements on '''all''' aspects of a school (including sports and other extracurricular activities) even if just one department receives federal funding.<ref>[https://www.oyez.org/cases/1983/82-792 ''Grove City College v. Bell''], 465 U.S. 555 (1984).</ref>

 

* [[Public schools]] - see propaganda of [[Public school culture]] and [[Professor values]]

 

* [[State]] governments - see [[Tenth Amendment]] and [[Commerce Clause]]

 

* The [[National Endowment for the Arts]]

 

* [[Tax-exempt]] religious institutions. Hypocritical "tax and spend" [[liberal]]s would argue that allowing tax exempt status for [[church]]es "is equivalent to receiving the same amount in federal funding". However, many [[conservative]]s and [[libertarian]]s would see it as the Feds "not yet stealing money from churches."

 

* [[Tax credit]]s to private citizens. Hypocritical "tax and spend" [[liberal]]s would argue that allowing tax credits to private citizens "is equivalent to receiving the same amount in federal funding". However, many [[conservative]]s and [[libertarian]]s would see it as the Feds "returning a small portion of the 28% plus of income money they steal from citizens since the 1913 creation of the income tax.
