Robby, your last post was brilliant. It IS a reduction of an INCREASE in most cases.
Rick, any President would have had to back off a little here and there with increases, since 9/11 and the war.
Are you going to blame Bush for these GIANT unexpected security costs, the War, and the recession due to 9/11, the near colapsed airline industry, the lack of tourism which has hurt every major city?
These problems would be there for any president in office right now. Logically you need to make some sacrifices here and there. 9/11 has changed this country and is going to change the world, as far as terrorism goes.
What good are these increases anyway if we arent alive to use them. National Security at this time is #1 priority.
