[QUOTE]Originally posted by MinutiaeMan: [QB] Okay, the idea of Republicans and Democrats twisting around the proposed funding numbers to blame the other side is certainly plausible, probably even likely. (Not to mention that the Congressmen are hardly a single bloc, or even two blocs... so there's all sorts of agendas flying around.) However, the FBI agent cutback seems completely antithetical to everything that the Bush administration has been telling us for the past year and a half. I don't understand how lowering our vigilance can be a good thing... I guess this goes back to Bush's attempts to juggle three separate issues, and each of his three policies are wholly incompatible. 1. International cooperation against terrorism. Requires multilateral effort. (Duh!) 2. Military policy, especially against Iraq. Also requires multilateral effort, and requires increased funding to support military activity. 3. Fostering economic recovery through tax cuts of dubious focus while simultaneously increasing spending and forcing the burden on state governments. Anyone else see the contradictions here?
