Increasing funding for the department of education, the NEA, and public broadcasting protects us how exactly?
I'm already getting weary of references to Harry Truman. I knew Harry Truman who was nothing but a County Commissioner in a corrupt county before being made V.P. Harry was not my friend, but Harry would probably expand the government AFTER he nuked the state sponsors of terrorism aka "The Axis of Evil!"
We need some world leadership and this isn't it!!! No guts, no glory for a "world power" that has created the most powerful military in history with nuclear subs that are powerless, neutered by political correctness and European opinion mis-labled "world opinion."
I'm yawning and totally un-inspired by this waste of political capital. This is totally disheartening for this American Citizen!!!
This is debasing the value of my citizenship as well as my individual freedom. HE'S BRINGING FEMA INTO THIS ARRANGEMENT!
This reminds me of Gray Davis and his never revoking the emergency powers after the energy crisis was over. Government by perpetual emergency edicts over never ended crises is not the democratic process in our republic. There's no end in sight!!!
