Lear how the govt works. The federal govt does indeed underwrite the expenses of local goverments, especially in the area of law enforment.

Funny that none of your examples have anything to do with the Fed gov't. Oh wait, I forgot...Everything went to hell when the usurper Chimpy McBushitler Corp was selected in 2000.

I can understand your anger. The government will no longer be able to take the life savings of individuals who wish to direct their estates elsewhere. Now how are you going to pay for all those programs?

300 million to Tsunami relief. How could we.

"Hope you’all enjoyed the $40 million ignauragation…"

It was difficult with all of your incessant whining!

In Plumas County, where 37 law enforcement officers patrol 2,554 square miles, much of it thickly wooded, the sheriff's department hasn't purchased a new vehicle in three years.

Neighboring Butte County has eliminated 149 positions in its 2,380-member workforce and still predicts a $7 million cash shortfall next year.

Hope you'all enjoyed the $40 million ignauragation...

Jeez, who stomped on your lumbago today?

How much was Bush bragging the homeland security budget is, 30 Billion? Guess we can see what is improtant to him.
