According to CNN today, Rep Peter King, R-New York, the ranking member of the Homeland Security Committee is finding fault with the bill passed January 9th enacting the 9/11 commission recommendations which will reportedly cost around $21 billion over five years.
He says that it is ridiculous to spend that kind of money, and that if the legislation hadn't been rushed through by Democrats during their "first 100 hours", it never would have passed. Yet on the same day, George Bush announced that he'll be proposing his budget for the war in Iraq which will cost American taxpayers $250 billion for the next year and a half!
Where would you rather see your tax dollars being spent? Iraq, or here in the United States, making our borders and ports safer? We've already spent $400 billion + in Iraq and now our President wants to spend another $250 billion. Yet this idiot Republican Peter King is having a cow at spending $21 billion dollars within the borders of our own country! Get a grip on reality Mr. King! We need to stop spending money we don't have in Iraq, and spend it on our own country. Let the Iraqi's take care of their own!
