I do want to correct some stuff i said in the other post... after a bit more research I found that the anticipated total budget of DHS this year is going to be somewhat north of 44 Billion dollars. This is a good bit less than 20% of the budget...... and all i can claim in defense is that i must have been looking at some pie charts on gov.org incorrectly.

I do feel that the point i made is still the same, It's still an extraordinarily large amount of money that our gov'n spends on a dept that has a very dubious return on investment. When you then factor in the "cost" of constitutional rights being stripped away as well...

not cool....

We really have to find a way to get these darned politicians under control (Don't kid yourself, neither party is any better than the other)

Personally i think the only solution is to work our way to a viable 3rd party system, but i don't know how we could ever manage a hat trick like that.

In any case, thanks again for the kind words.

the point is still clear......

The more of these "departments" created the more people directly on the government dole. The paid dole, then the entitlement dole. Together are far more than 50% of the voters.
