Howard makes a good point here. DHS was supposed to save money. I still can’t figure out how politicians can say that creating a huge bureaucracy can save money, and also do it with a straight face. This is a prime example.
If health care passes, we the people are screwed. There are over 100 new bureaucracies created with that mess, but I digress.
The Fort Hood tragedy could have been prevented. It could have been prevented by several agencies that are sworn to do just that, prevent home grown terrorism. Even the Army had a shot at preventing this one, several times by the looks of things. I am absolutely positive that it was all DIVERSITY related.
