WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY GO?

[OregonBlue]

How was the "Homeland Security" money spent? cause it sure as well hasn't been going into disaster relief. Why can't these cops, firefighter, troops all communicate? Isn't that what this money was supposed to go for? How much went to searching little old ladies trying to get on planes and how much went to "data mining" and surveillance of "Code Pink"?

WE NEED TO DEMAND THE ANSWERS. NO MORE HIDING BEHIND WE CAN'T REVEAL OUR BUDGET PRIORITIES BECAUSE OF "NATIONAL SECURITY" ISSUES.

CALL YOUR REPS, DEM AND REPUG AND DEMAND ANSWERS!! THIS IS NOT A DEMOCRATIC OR A REPUBLICAN ISSUE. IT'S WAY BIGGER THAN THAT. We need to make it clear that anyone who doesn't support getting to the real truth is NOT GOING TO GET RE-ELECTED since, that's what they really care about.

2. Oh, please don't remind me...

Believe me, ordinary Alaskans didn't want it. We are embarrassed and ashamed at the pork thrown our way, and speaking for myself only, they can take it all back and give it to those poor people in New Orleans. My heart is breaking this morning ... I've already cried a river and have been screaming at the TV.

5. Army Corps of Engineers budget for levee construction in NO. is slashed!

<snip>
June 2004: The Army Corps of Engineers budget for levee construction in New Orleans is slashed. Jefferson Parish emergency management chiefs Walter Maestri comments: "It appears that the money has been moved in the president's budget to handle homeland security and the war in Iraq, and I suppose that's the price we pay."


June 2005: Funding for the New Orleans district of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is cut by a record $71.2 million. One of the hardest-hit areas is the Southeast Louisiana Urban Flood Control Project, which was created after the May 1995 flood to improve drainage in Jefferson, Orleans and St. Tammany parishes.
