It's not just the small-potatoes post-9/11 Homeland spending that feels a little off mission. It's the big-ticket stuff too.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never know what I'm going to do for the Post next. Two weeks ago I had a piece on Homeland Security. This is one of my pig ongoing projects. How unprepared we are for a terrorist attack.
There is such a desire to give everybody a piece, we're probably wasting a great deal of homeland security money trying to be politically correct, when we really need to make sure that our cities get the money they need.
But the thing we do know is whatever it costs to save and protect American lives in this conflict, we're going to spend.
While our nation faces many challenges that must be met regarding homeland security and our military readiness, it is imperative that we live within our means and wisely spend taxpayer dollars.
True patriotism isn't cheap. It's about taking on a fair share of the burden of keeping America going.
There's no bigger task than protecting the homeland of our country.
The Department of Homeland Security is a strategic feel good measure. It's going to be the Department of Agriculture for the 21st century. TSA - thousands standing around.
I'm a strong-and-stable-dollar advocate, and the Fed has been moving dangerously away from that mission.
Well, it's taken a long time to get the Department of Homeland Security established. It's taken a long time for the Congress to decide how much it wanted to fund.
I feel gigantic affection for all of Homeland Security at airports.
