Maybe you mean border security since homeland security is apparently doing it's job. I think your objection to ANYTHING Bush does, your lack of economic understanding, along with other posts from you since I've been on Getbig have exposed you for being liberal.. they aren't necessarily the definition of liberal.
My lack of economic understanding? No it's my lack of economic programming and acceptance. BTW, Shell just posted record profits in the 10's of billions. So as oil companies are raking in the dough you are convinced it's proper and justified as you pay $3 a gallon. And i bet you blame liberals for the poor oil companies not being able to build refineries in the US too as if that's the only place to build them.
Also, border security is part of homeland security and it's bad. And we haven't been attacked becuase the threat isn't as bad as we have been led to believe. NOT, that we need our guard down, the point is, OUR GUARD IS DOWN! some of the billions spent on this unneeded war in Iraq could seal up our borders and our airports. For less than $10,000 a person could stop air traffic in the USA again for a week. Easy. It's an illusion what homeland security is doing at the airports.
What the hell does any of that have to do with the fact that you think we can't fix the educational system in any way other than throwing money at it and fight a war at the same time? Are you still forgetting your original statement?
Well, i have children, who go to a private school. I'm fortunate, becuase of my efforts that i can do that. In public schools, our education system is ranked very low. We have over crowded class rooms, crappy outdated old text books, under paid teachers, and school programs are being cut every day. What part of that don't you understand? Are you so thick headed you refuse to even acknowledge the problems becuase you are so politically biased? Yes, money would help that in a great way. Even then, if the money that they do get now was spent better it would raise the quality of our education.
It's obvious to me that is beyond your understanding. Or maybe, saying anything other than towing BUSH's line comes makes you a liberal in your book.
I guess you really do buy into the for us or against us principle don't you? That's why i call you a blunt instrument.
As far as the educational system goes we've made a massive improvement (starting with no child left behind, thank you Bush). My point is that what's left to fix is more a matter of policy and standards instead of funding.
Does policy and standards "fund" a music program?
Does policy and standards "fund" a new athletic events track?
Does policy and standards "fund" a updated text books?
Does policy and standards "fund" more teachers resulting in smaller class rooms?
better healthier food?
I could go on and on.
Spending the money properly without creating an over weight bureaucracy frees up funds to in those areas. But not near the level that will makes a significant difference unfortunately.
How about college? how about funding scholarships so our country stays ahead in technology and new sciences? How much will a few 10's of billions go in helping worthy intelligent students who cannot afford it?
How about better roads?
I could on and on.
Lol.. another typical liberal move. I make a point showing how you attempted to skew the figures to support your argument and you call me a racist!! OMG, everytime I want to give you the benefit of the doubt you open your mouth and ruin it. ah HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!
You made an assumption. If you can't show me you got nothing but what i said, which is thousands have died. But as blunt tool, that doesn't bother you.
another weak pathetic attempt. Shows you desperation. But that's ok, go to yoru local bar and sit with your other unintelligent blunt tools and compare your pick up trucks.
"A military act, to be significant takes many people." Lemme make this big since I know you're a little short on grey matter..
IS THIS NOT WHAT WE'RE DOING??? ARE WE NOT SLAUGHTERING RADICAL ISLAM BY THE THOUSANDS!!! ARE THESE NOT THE SAME PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN WREAKING HAVOC ALL OVER THE WORLD FOR THE LAST 20 YEARS!!!
no.
These are many new recruits resulting from our bumbling foreign policy. Included, foreign fighters they couldn't over wise get into the USA becuase those are religious blunt instruments, (you would relate), that aren't trained or adept enough to infiltrate and gain entrance into the USA and also included are insurgents, Iraqi civilians who opposed US occupation and are funded by other powerful entities in Iraq, religious or otherwise, including Iran who have much to gain is the US fails. The common thread all of these share is radical Islamic views whether they be for purely religious reasons or for the desire to gain power. Now the real threat are none of those above. Because if we didn't invade Iraq with Rummy's weak ass plan, they'd all be there getting it rammed up the anus by Saddam for his personal reasons of keeping his power.
The real threat is AQ. Which is in Iraq in a limited and not dominate basis thanks to the US military. AQ is a terrorist organization not a military force, or an insurgency. It only takes one AQ soldier to commit a terrorist act that can damage us greatly. It can happen at any time in our country and as i said before it would as easy as spending a few dollars. Securing our borders would go a long way to preventing that. The reason it hasn't is becuase we didi a great job in Afghanistan. We knock the crap out of them, financially and the country they had a haven in. The western world clamped down on them in away that was never seen before. Not that they aren't a threat. It's just they are not what the average brain washed drone like yourself are led to believe they are.
Only a person like you would think the Iraq war is preventing US terror attacks from happening.
Securing our borders would be a great place to start spending some money instead of pissing into Iraq.
Inflation, war, increasing demand and a slumping market (although no where near a recession despite what you may hear from the lefts fear tactics) all contribute to high prices. Combine that with being unable to access oil right here on this continent no thanks to the democrats and you have the formula for high and increasing prices. Tell me, why should we have to pay more by being forced to buy from the middle east instead of drilling here on land comparitively the size of a postage stamp in a baseball field and being set for decades, possibly even centuries?
If drilling can truly be done without screwing up the environment, I'm all for it. But i think it's BS propaganda. further more, Inflation si not the reason our gas is higher. Our gas is higher because people like you have been programmed to accept it based on the bull shit reasons they feed you.
