--Domestic security at the Homeland Security Department and other agencies would go from $30.6 billion in 2005 to $29.6 billion in 2006, a 3 percent drop.
--The Education Department would go from $57.3 billion in 2005 to $55.9 billion in 2006, 2.4 percent less.
--The Veterans Affairs Department would fall 3.4 percent from $29.7 billion in 2005 to $28.7 billion.
--The Environmental Protection Agency would drop from $7.8 billion in 2005 to $7.6 billion, or 2.6 percent.
--The National Institutes of Health, which finances biomedical research and had its budget doubled over a recent five-year period, would fall from $28.6 billion to $28 billion, or 2.1 percent.
--The Interior Department would fall 1.9 percent from $10.8 billion in 2005 to $10.6 billion.

....and that's how the liberals, and their knee-jerk reactions, scare people into voting for them.
I want to ask a few things:
1) Are there as many vets out there? ...and I am talking about vets with benefits. I'm a vet and I don't have any benefits.
2) Shouldn't and don't states and counties pay for the brunt of the schools? Duh...
The others don't bother me. As long as we are fighting them over there, we won't need that many resources here.
