I wonder how many sites the DHS is required to secure. Thousands of airports, ports, government buildings, borders, oil storage facilities.... Not too far from me in Martinez California there is a huge oil refinery with dozens of massive storage containers. The only think preventing someone from leaving the freeway and driving right up to these huge tanks is a chain link fence. Every refinery should have two or three of these armored trucks.
Ironically, on my drive up from LA yesterday I saw a DHS "tactical command center" truck on the freeway...

i also expect the republicans to be the party of small government, since thats what they say they are. But they are the party the exploded the debt, created a new unfunded entitlement program, created the homeland security bureaucracy, created the patriot act.
AKA, there is nothing small government about republicans.

the only things they dont want to regulate are guns & disaster relief.

Repubs? wall to wall hypocrisy on core issues. as someone who prefers small tax rates, limits on government power, & the right to sell porn, the repubs should be my party, in theory.
but their not even close.

Both clubs need some restructure, Obamacare has over 20,000 pages of regulation, that can't be good. Job Growth? Where, new jobs are always outnumbered by new people coming of age to work, Democrats have been blowing that. Deficit, the funds come mainly from Social Security, Obama has been blowing everyone retirement.

Carbon is not the problem, it makes up 0.041% of our atmosphere , 95% of that is from Volcanos and decomposing plants and stuff. So people in the US are responsible for 13% of the carbon in the atmosphere which 95% is not from Humans, like cars and trucks and stuff and they want to spend trillions to fix it while Solar Panel plants are powered by coal plants
think about that
