To put things in perspective, I calculated how long it took our military in Afghanistan and Iraq to spend the same amount of money. $30M is 2 hours of war. In this case, the GOP is basically proposing to cut the Flood Control and Coastal Emergencies funds for one year, in order to pay back just 2 hours of war.
There are a total of 70 items. Here are the one that saddened me the most:
- Economic Development Assistance = 57 minutes of war. Great choice in a time of recession.
- National Drug Intelligence Center = 39 minutes of war. We don't have a drug problem in this country ...
- Juvenile Justice = 9 minutes of war. Just 9 minutes of war!
- NSF = 9 hours. Science has never served this country.
- Food Safety and Inspection Services = 4 hours of war. Haw we never had food contaminations in this country.
- WIC = 2 days of war. Wicked! If you can't raise a kid on your own, don't have one...
- Family planning = 20 hours of war ... and you can't use birth control either! That goes well with the item above!
- Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services = 6 hours of war. We REALLY don't have a drug problem in this country.
