IOW, the plans were already in the works prior to 9/11. <BR/><BR/>For someone who constantly decries big govt, he LOOOVES to spend shitloads of money on useless shit (DHS, war in Iraq and ensuing no-bid contracts, etc.), but voted against funding for Head Start and school lunches and opposed the creation of a Dept of Education--and I believe he also opposed prescription drug coverage for seniors under Medicare. <BR/><BR/>I would swear he didn't have a heart if he weren't being rushed off to the cardiologist so often.Vickihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281817151011619011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-53152913097440191532008-10-23T15:14:00.000+02:002008-10-23T15:14:00.000+02:00The Department of Homeland Security is run by the ...<I>The Department of Homeland Security is run by the same kind of feckless idiots that have run the IRS for decades.</I><BR/><BR/>i beg to differ. the IRS, flawed as it is, is far better run than most of the DHS --- and parts of the DHS (cough, TSA, ICE, cough, cough) --- are particularly clueless bureaucracies even by DHS standards.<BR/><BR/>creating the DHS was a massive, idiotic bungle that anybody with the slightest knowledge of bureaucracies could see was destined to be a massive clusterfuck if it ever became anything more than a purely theoretical, on-paper-only construct. thankfully, it's mostly remained on paper and in theory --- where it hasn't, it's been a gigantic cock-up.<BR/><BR/>(will we be able to finally de-federalize airport security again after the election, at least? most miserable utter waste of taxpayers' money i've seen happen in my lifetime, the TSA.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-23060327563232091962008-10-23T12:02:00.000+02:002008-10-23T12:02:00.000+02:00Also for the Gun angle, the Brady Campaign and the...Also for the Gun angle, the Brady Campaign and their lackeys are trying to make these people on the watch list unable to buy a gun.<BR/><BR/>I agree with you, 2500 seems VERY low.
