I agree Washington needs to stop spending so much of our money but this cut in funding isn't going to save any money. Bush is just going to spend it in Iraq or somewhere else.

If Bush wants to save money then he should pull ALL of our troops back from overseas.

How sweet of Bush to be concerned about govt. spending, so much so that he is willing to cut 1-2 billion off the budget of Homeland Security.


Now where's that damn 50 billion more we need to spend on our "war"?!!!!

I guess if we are fighting them OVER THERE....then we really don't need any defense at all OVER HERE. Bush is truly a genius!

It's about time this 'Pork Barrel' was brought under control..every town in the country with a population over 200 has a 'Swat Team' dressed in black uniforms...

It's been completely out of control and a failure...didn't keep out one illegal mexican from crossing the border...time for a fiscal investigation, now that the Director has resigned...

Where's Comrade Pelosi when you need her? Did they all go to the Valdimir Putin re-election borsh bash?
