Good, more money for real defense, less for House District pork barrelling.

Why did the Twin Towers Fall? Ask not this question, ask why pork barrel defense appropriators closed Floyd Bennet Field in Brooklyn as an Air Force base years ago, but kept bases open in such crucial Homeland defense areas as the rural south and west.

Most military bases are like Farm subsidies and corporate handouts - Republican welfare payments.
