Tax cuts are great.

but what kind of a country are we becoming?

With all the emphasis on security you'd be surprised to learn that the Federal Protective Service, which is responsible for the security of more than 8000 facilities of the federal government, does not have enough money to do its job. They no longer patrol the facilities. Hours have been cut. Personnel budgets have been slashed. Equipment is not being maintained. Things are so bad that a dead body was found in a vacant facility only after it had been there for three months.

There ain't no free lunch.
