I’ve heard the same thing about the budget cuts.

" But Acorn gets $4 Billion? "

Hey, they got to keep their priorities straight... sarcasm

Now why would we need the coast guard while we are actively under threat of an attack on these shores by July?

Comon. Obama knows what he is doing /s

[Thunder90]

Rumors also have it that they are going to cut two to four carrier battle groups and a bunch of airwings (airforce)

[American Constitutionalist]

This is wanton recklessness by the Obama administration of our national security by cutting back funding for the coast guard.

It seems like the feds are spending as much money as they possibly can. Heck, they're even spending $1.4T that we don't have! They're just shoveling, shoveling, shoveling cash everywhere they can think of.

Except basic areas like defense and related fields. They're cutting budgets there.

But, you know, it's not like they're sabotaging our economy and weakening our defenses, or anything ... naaaaah ... they wouldn't do that ...

The CG is also decommissioning LORAN-C due to budget cuts. The claim was that it costs $36M a year to continue operation. Granted, airborne and sea navigation has largely transitioned to GPS, but we needed to keep LORAN-C in operation while enhanced-LORAN was developed and deployed as a backup to GPS. For those who are not familiar with LORAN-C, think of it as a less accurate ground-based GPS.

I hope we don’t pay for this mistake down the road. My cynical prediction is that if we ever do turn on an e-LORAN system, it will cost more to rebuild the timing chain stations than it would have cost us to keep them operational with LORAN-C until e-LORAN showed up.
