WasteOfTheDay: Farrakhan Org Nets $300K+ for 'Farms'

Between 2008 and 2011, 930 entities in Chicago collected $6.1 million in farm subsidies.

But like other major American urban areas including Washington, D.C. and New York City, Chicago does not have farms. Yet, wealthy residents were still eligible for federal farm subsidies.

In 2014, our auditors at OpenTheBooks.com found that the Three Year Economic Savings Program, Inc., a charity-arm of The Nation of Islam in Chicago, collected $300,000+ in farm subsidies over a 17-year period at the home address of Minister Louis Farrakhan. A follow up from Fox News revealed even more issues with the entities.
