We all called it when Bubbafucco put a 100K Cops on the payroll and then expected the cities to pick up the next years bill for their services. Clintonistas knew exactly what they were doing as the paychecks they wrote bounced and the individual cities had to lay off the extra cops while slick was getting serviced in the oval office.

Now it's GW's fault......

For the want of a few snub nosed revolvers in the cockpits or hands of some of the passengers 9-11 would be just the day before 9-12.

Had GW really been knowledgeable of the hijacks and had shot down the "commercial airliners" then these same whiners would have wanted his head on a stick for killing innocents as everybody else could have done it better or "the right way"........... These sorts wouldn't be happy in ya hung em with a new rope. Let em bitch and snivel.....keeps em busy and out of the way .

Stay safe !

"There are actually 5,879 fewer city cops than in 2000, partly due to the nearly 90 percent Bush cuts in Bill Clinton's COPS programs. Even with the post-9-11 invention of homeland security funding, NYC is getting $61 million less in federal public-safety subsidies than it did before our cops became America's front line. Bush's 2005 budget proposes even more cuts. Though most conventioneers would prefer to forget it, George W. Bush has slashed the troop strength that host committee hero Rudy Giuliani put on duty."

I read the first paragraph and after taking a moment to stop laughing, I decided to answer.

Crime is down by over 40% in NY over the last four years. Times Square has been cleaned up and the city is once again flourishing after the tragic events of 9/11.

The cops are whining about how they need a raise. Sure, give them a raise. In exchange, the police should sit down with the city and suggest where it should make cuts in order for the cops to get a raise.

Clinton bloated the municipalities unions and expected the rest of the country to pay for it. If the city cannot afford it then they shouldn't have it. I will tell you how police can earn more money and save the city money in the process:

1. Give every cop a 25% pay raise starting on Monday.
2. On Monday the police will fund their own 401k.
3. The police will pay their own health insurance.
4. The police will have 1 month vacation, 5 sick days and 2 personal days.
5. There will be no carrying over of sick or vacation time. Use it or lose it.
6. If a police officer does well and hits his tests, promote him with pay. If he doesn't, fire him. Mediocrity cannot live in the police force. Leads to cops going bad due to lack of incentive.

This should be good enough for any muni union.
