Ha! Reporter on Lou Dobbs Just Mentioned * Cutting 9,790 Border Agents |
|
Back in 2004 - Congress approved hiring 10,000 new border patrol agents, but *'s 2006 budget included funding for only 210 of them!
They could have made more of it, but at least it was mentioned.

1. So instead of restoring the funding for border agents |
|
Georgie is going to cause massive upheaval in the lives of National Guard families. Because the incomes ain't comparable, I'm just bettin'.

11. Congress approved hiring 10,000 agents over 5 years, ie: 2000 per year. |
|
Bush cut that by 90% for 2006 and funded only 210. Over 5 years, that would have added up to only 1050 agents.
I used a bit of RW addition in my headline (assuming bush COULD have funded the full 10,000 immediately if he wanted to).

3. That was also mentioned this afternoon on another program. |

It should be repeated loud and repeated often.

5. I guess national guard members don't get paid as much? |

Bubble up economics works... trickle down is a massive failure.
How many times must it be proven before it sinks into their heads?

9. ahahahaha... who's billing it that way? |
|
it's dead-on accurate... so... if it's the MSM saying that... I have my suspicions that they're only trying to regain a veneer of credibility so people will trust them again by this fall, when they'll be shoving their anointed corporatist candidates down our throats.

14. CNN reporter or local reporter? |
|
Either way... hope it's from the bottom up, and not some ruse to get people thinking they're generally trustworthy anymore.
Thanks!
