Homeland Security? Bush Cuts Funds To Many Major Cities

For a presidency that has pounded the drum of "security" so long and so loudly it really comes as a surprise that funds are being cut to the two major cities that have actually been hit by terrorists. Both New York City and Washington DC had their Homeland Security budgets cut by millions.

Cities like Orlando, which had no money previously did get a few million, but overall the picture doesn't look very secure. I understand that money alone can't keep us secure, but it helps pay for things and personnel that do.

The real agenda of Bush and Company is profit. Money that can be channeled into big contracts for cronies and their companies is expanded and money that would actually go to pay first responders is cut. It's simple, people are not profitable, buying machines and technology is profitable. For a marginal Trek fan like me it would seem that the Faringi had taken over our government.
