No mention in the American media (that I have seen) of Obama’s budget SLASHING the anti-terror bombing budget....by nearly 50%....
Again complaints about cuts. Can we cut ANYTHING without somebody being upset. Conservatives are just as bad as liberals. The cuts in the anti-terror bombing budget probably did not cause the tragedy. We HAVE to start cutting!!!! I know conservatives love their pet projects but DANG....we will NEVER cut anything. (This is not directed towards you but the general subject).
First of all, MY point was about how the media hasn’t mentioned the fact...whereas if BUSH had cut the budget, he would be under media assault for putting women and children in danger. Don’t accuse me of not being a budget hawk.
But my second point is that ONE legitimate function, in the Constitution, of the federal government, is protection against enemies....so of all the budget items, the one to cut might not be the aforementioned one....maybe that $30,000,000 for pottery classes in Morocco could go first....no that isn’t a joke.
Any idea of the total amount of dollars cut?
I would like to compare that to solar money.
It’s just priorities... Global Warming or National Security
