Flame away...

[Fyscat]

Absolutely classic.

[Huck]

Well, I know what Michael Savage will be talking about tonight.

[kevkrom]

Government accounting 101: any increase that is less than the projected increase is a "cut".

[txroadhawg]

I thought is was 2ooo, not 10000, besides, it's not FY2008 yet. And since when has the congress approved a Presidential budget, not that I can remember.

[exnavy]

We could compensate for this loss by letting the civilian groups pick up the slack, won't happen.

[Publius Scipio]

The shrunken increase reflects the lack of money for an army of border guards and the capacity to train them.

Is there also a lack of money for an army of able-bodied welfare spongers?

[junta]

100 million for the Polish army, squat for Americans on the border.

[agincourt1415]

How about a Civl Border Patrol, modeled after the Civil Air Patrol.

If they want cheap, pay volunteer per diem to patrol and watch the border.

Volunteers with airplanes or Pilots Licenses.

[Chili Girl]

Grrrrrrrr.....

[traviskicks]

Libs are trying to create a split between people like Rush limbuagh and Buchanon crowd and the rest of us.

I think it is more then clear that the socialization of America is the greatest threat to liberty. Tax relief, school choice, abolition of SS and Medicaid are all much , much, much more important.

[DainBramage]

You don't have to add agents if youuse the military already on the payroll.

[digger48]

Democrats were unhappy....

We sure don't want them unhappy, now do we?

[Nachum]

We are doomed!

maybe it is time for a "We are Doomed" thread"

[rdb3]

The budget for this year hasn't even been voted on yet.

[Pro-Bush]

Look on the bright side, a head of Lettuce should get below a dollar again.

[demlosers]

the National Intelligence Reform Act included the requirement to add 10,000 border patrol agents in the five years beginning with 2006.

Bush didn't cut anything. The federal government uses a 5 year budget plan. My calender says it's still 2005. More deceitful and deceptive media reporting.

[4.1O dana super trac pak]

Should read "...at least 2,000 per year."

[Recovering Ex-hippie]

So maybe Bush figures....he'll throw this out to the Dim dogs, they jump on this...everyone will scream and he'll end up getting his borer patrol anyway and force the Dims to cut something else they really want. Gotcha!

[k2blader]

He has more important things on his mind, like AIDS money for Africa.

[Dont_Tread_On_Me_888]

The shrunken increase reflects the lack of money for an army of border guards and the capacity to train them, officials said.

That is because the budget spends over $1 tillion on social welfare.

Bush lacks courage, or he lacks the desire to protect America's sovereignty.

Possibly, it is because Bush is a globalist who dreams of Mexamerica.

Possibly, he would, in the grand tradition of Marxists, rather spend money on social welfare than natioanl security.

Choose your pick--it is one of the above.
