From the beyond - here's the ticket!

It's Doug 


Sequester and up till know I thought it was the name of a race horse..  While I'm thinking race horse our government will cut 85 billion dollars in across the board spending cuts.   Already, due to this the King County Housing Authority in Seattle was forced to stop issuing housing vouchers to "elderly and disability households, vets and families with children"

Meanwhile, I came across this piece "Homeland Security: the trillion dollar concept no one can define" 
Thanks Max Waller  I pulled the link from him.

I'm a frequent flyer and every time I head to the airport and see the mass of personal with limited skills, a weight problem and even one in a wheel chair the hairs on the back of my neck start to lift up and by the time I'm berated for not taking my belt off, my trip is on a down hill slide.   Personally I can't see the purpose of most of Homeland Security, it's too much to late.  On 9/11 the terrorists got lucky and so why couldn't we just move on but no we bowed to them with the military actions in the mid east and the boondoggle of Homeland Security and so you could say they won and are running us on a short chain.

We are unable to care for the needy our infrastructure is imploding and we spend millions on drones for the Military and instead of investing in our cities police and public security we continue to pump money into that money pit called Homeland Security.

Still not sure about the Sequester thing but believe now is not the time for cuts in public spending, mostly effecting the core population of our country who needs all the help it can get.
