Being a libertarian shouldnt you be in support of this? I mean slashing left and right?
$20 million budget under Bush became $11 million under Obama
Both administrations neglected domestic bombing prevention, devoting a tiny fraction of the $1 billion earmarked for IED prevention overseas
Obama issued a lengthy 'National Policy for Countering Improvised Explosive Devices' in February but a spokesman won't say if it failed
Barack Obama's administration has cut the budget nearly in half for preventing domestic bombings, MailOnline can reveal.
Under President George W. Bush, the Department of Homeland Security had $20 million allocated for preventing the use of improvised explosive devices (IEDs) by terrorists working inside the United States. The current White House has cut that funding down to $11 million.
That assessment comes from Robert Liscouski, a former Homeland Security Assistant Secretary for Infrastructure Protection, in the wake of the Boston Marathon bombings on April 15 that killed three Americans and injured at least 173 others.

Just to be clear, are you suggesting or saying that because this budget was 9 million smaller the Boston Bombing was able to go off?
I am just presenting facts, your injections mean nothing here.
See, I'd think reducing the involvement of the police state in our lives would be considered a good thing to a libertarian...
Does this mean fiscal conservatives are happy Obama worked to trim the budget like they've asked? I don't understand the point of this thread.
I don't think obama has ever taken domestic terrorism seriously, his best buddy Bill Ayers was a bombing terrorist.
It means as per usual dem's slash defense first and foremost.
