Churches, Government, Oversight and the lack there of

Over the last couple decades I placed and finished concrete as a vocation. at about the same time that the churches started getting in the political arena, I know, I know but yes, getting in the political arena. We poured many expansions on many churches, big expansions, I'm not so sure it could be called expansions because in almost all cases they more than doubled and most times quadrupled or more the size of the original church. At about the same time the repukes were starting to push faith based initiatives whatever the hell that is but anyways I wonder if the money for all the expansions were maybe money that we were told was being given to the churches to help with the needy and homeless here in America. :shrug:

So my question is this...where were the "expansions" you were pouring?

so people. several that I couldn't and can't see how they could afford all this.
