VPC Number Crunching

Bitter over at SIH has been running a series on the financial status of the Brady Campaign and VPC. A question arose as to why the VPC went from the red in 2006 so here's their Joyce grant numbers from '03 to current.

12/4/2003 $500,000 12mo
12/2/2004 $500,000 12mo
12/2/2005 $450,000 12mo
7/20/2006 $700,000 18 mo
12/6/2007 $700,000 12mo
12/4/2008 $700,000 12mo
12/10/2009 $585,000 12mo

So it seems the Joyce's decided to invest more into Joshie, doubling up on the '05 grand and increasing their funding by about 30% (at least until this year).

Fat lot of good it did them.

As noted earlier, the Joyce's are already readjusting where their finances go w. the consolidation of several of their other ineffective groups.

H. Nemerov's Austin GRE did a piece on this.

So between the economy and losing public support, it seems that reliance on donations isn't working real well. Maybe the Brady's should get their own sugar daddy.
