Yes - Grants are not GIFTS! They usually are funded on a reimbursed basis - and not dollar for dollar - so POM will need to layout the money in advance, then apply for reimbursement. So they may have to spend $ 800 million to get $ 168 million. That's the way the grant business works. Also, specific performance metrics must be met before the money is reimbursed. And yes, there are strings attached - probably have to hire some Obama Czars to watch the money.
