Sad news! ACORN is limping along on a paltry $4,000,000 a year.

Bertha Lewis, the chief executive officer for the group, said ACORN was getting by on about $4 million annually rather than its one-time $25 million budget and had reduced its staff to four, down from between 350 and 600 employees.

Bertha Lewis spends $4,000,000 for four employees. We'd say the organization sounds a little top heavy.

Bertha Lewis is dumb as a rock for admitting this. And we hope we haven’t offended any rocks with that statement.

Associated Press reports the details of the organization’s dollar deficit:

Bertha Lewis, the chief executive officer for the group, said ACORN was getting by on about $4 million annually rather than its one-time $25 million budget and had reduced its staff to four, down from between 350 and 600 employees.

“We’re still alive. We’re limping along. We’re on life support,” Lewis said in an interview just after a government lawyer asked a federal appeals court to temporarily block a judge’s ruling that it was unconstitutional for Congress to cut funding to ACORN.

A $4,000,000 budget with a staff of four?

Who said socialism doesn’t pay?
