Downsized by Jesus!
Someone mentioned that this was posted in GD, but I could not find it. So I googled. Read the whole article, with the budget numbers, for a jaw-dropping experience:

Focus on the Family planning cuts, layoffs

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
September 16, 2005

COLORADO SPRINGS — The conservative Christian ministry Focus on the Family plans to eliminate some of its programs and lay off employees to trim millions of dollars from next year’s budget.

1. At first glance, I wanted to laugh at this
But then I read these stats:

--The ministry has a staff equivalent to 1,342 full-time employees.
--$143 million 2005 budget.


Cheese-n-Fries! This is scarrrry!
