Dept. Of Stupid Ideas

Yes, it makes sense to decrease funding for Homeland Security for the two cities most likely to be hit by a terrorist attack. Not.

The two cities attacked on Sept. 11, 2001, will receive far less antiterrorism money under plans unveiled today by the Department of Homeland Security, which has designated more money for many smaller cities throughout the country.

Washington and New York will receive 40 percent less in urban grant money compared to last year, with Washington dropping from $77 million to $46 million and New York falling from $207 million to $124 million, DHS officials said. The combined total means that the two areas bear almost the entire brunt of a $120 million cut in the overall budget for the program, the statistics show.

New York, Washington DC, hit by a terrorist attack? Why would you think that could happen?
