The money may be being spent on those things, but efficiently? Need we mention the 3 year project for the highway department to fix the 140 bridge in New Bedford right before 195? LOL I can't think of a single time that I went by that project that they were actually working and not just standing around looking pretty.
Honestly, I couldn't tell you what I'd do the president's shoes, I would never wanna be in that position.
And as far as choosing not to be blown to bits by terrorists? Sure you can choose not to be, because you REALLY think they're gonna blow up an area that has a couple cow farms and a lot of woods? Or howabout obscure cape beaches?
Back to money again since you edited, sure we can spend money on fighting terrorism, but do we need to spend it on $5 billion Halliburton contracts? And then be told that they didn't think they should tell us about it? Like I said, they don't have to bomb the US, just keep sending out propaganda, we'll keep HEMMORAGING money chasing ghosts and crap leads.
