Immortal Goat | See, the reason W is spending so much on useless technology is because he thinks that since he doesn't know how it works, they must be important. That's also why he thought being president would be a good job. He didn't understand a goddamn thing about the responsibility it would entail, so he thought it would be a "fun ride, like the merry-go-round or Log Flume." |

Helm | Yeah is that where it says he's going to use aprox. the same amount of money rebuilding the railroad as he's going to pay some people to research stuff against Saddam and the same amount for prisons as housing? |

The Kind of Thing I Save My Outrage For October 2, 2003 | Daily Mislead Archive The President's Promises on Homeland Security are Long on Talk, Short on Money The Bush Administration apparently is willing to shortchange the police, firefighters and emergency personnel who would be the first to arrive on the scene of a terrorist attack on American soil. An independent task force headed by former Republican Senator Warren Rudman concluded that the $4.2 billion appropriation signed by the President on Wednesday1 may be "only one-third of what is required to adequately provide for America's emergency responders." 2 After September 11th the President promised to take "every possible measure" to guarantee the security of the homeland, but now Bush's Homeland Security officials are mocking the concerns of the Rudman task force. "I think the [task force] would like to install gold-plated telephones,"3 said one official. At the same time the Bush Administration wants to spend $6,000 apiece for 600 overpriced hand-held radios and satellite phones in Iraq.4 Sources: 1. "Bush Signs Homeland Security Bill", New York Times, 10/1/03. 2. "Emergency Responders: Drastically Underfunded, Dangerously Unprepared," Council on Foreign Relations, June 2003. 3.
