Where the Money Goes Redux

A couple of days ago I wrote a piece asking why the largest growing elements in out exploding budget under the current administration is Homeland Security. I think the answer is in the Washington Post piece. In reading the piece DHS seems to now be spending money as if there was no morrow!

The WaPo article is worth the read but to anyone who has spent time around DC knows the news is really not new. I have a few of these establishments in my home town, along with the NJ Jets training camp.

As to the WaPo article and DHS they state:

The Department of Homeland Security asked for more air marshals, more body scanners and more analysts, too, even though it can't find nearly enough qualified people to fill its intelligence unit now. Obama has said he will not freeze spending on national security, making it likely that those requests will be funded.

More and more and more and more ... made in China? Just a guess.
