...really was a joke,” says Martinez. According to Martinez, when the Secret Service agent came to his dorm room on March 1, 2005, it was nearly four months after he had posted the following: “We should all donate a dollar and we could raise millions of dollars to hire an assassin to kill the President and replace him with a monkey.” Martinez further alleges that the agent asked him about his medical records, his family background, and his propensity to assassinate the leader of the free world.“Honestly...
...target of shedding 86,000 sq. feet of obsolete facilities. However, Coburn pounced again when Moy could not say how much inventory was added during that time, rendering the analysis next to meaningless. The Senator further noted figures compiled from the Government Accounting Office indicating that the dollar amount spent by the Defense Department annually to maintain buildings it did not need came to "between $2000 and $3000 per active duty soldier...

The VA reported that 5% of its nearly 150 million square feet is vacant, including the main VA hospital in Milwaukee.

...trillion dollar budget proposed for fiscal year 2007, beginning this October, is no different. But it's a particularly risky document for the Bush administration. First, it contains some significant entitlement cuts in an election year. Some $65 billion in entitlement savings are proposed, with about $35 billion coming out of the popular Medicare program. In 1996, Bill Clinton clobbered Congressional Republicans for their proposals to "cut" Medicare, and Congressional Democrats, who managed to kill Bush's Social Security plan last year, are sure to try to do the same this year. Republicans are especially worried about states with...
...Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) alone spent $2.6 million on food for detainees along the southern border. This year, with $1.7 million already spent since Oct. 1, the CBP is on track to double that amount. The figures are line items in CBP's budget and the total dollar amount spent on food is likely much higher, says a CBP official, since some of the sector stations use part of their operating budgets to feed migrants and Immigration and Customs Enforcement also provides meals to illegal aliens in long-term detention...
