Imagine if they were successful and efficient at their endeavors.....we'd be in big trouble.

Because of a convoluted grants process set up by Congress, Homeland Security officials don't know how much they have spent in their decade-long effort to set up so-called fusion centers in every state. Government estimates range from less than $300 million to $1.4 billion in federal money, plus much more invested by state and local governments. Federal funding is pegged at about 20 percent to 30 percent.

Despite that, Congress is unlikely to pull the plug. That's because, whether or not it stops terrorists, the program means politically important money for state and local governments.

A Senate Homeland Security subcommittee reviewed more than 600 unclassified reports over a one-year period and concluded that most had nothing to do with terrorism.

"Government estimates range from less than $300 million to $1.4 billion in federal money"

Sounds like my wife when she comes home from Macy's

Me: Is that new?

Her: Yeah, doesn't it go great in here?!?

Me: How much did you spend on that?

Her: Oh I don't know, $25 or $150. Something around there.

No wonder my wife got a political science degree and wants to work for the govt. They think just like her when it comes to money.

Yep, and if the illegal kenyan were actually not the inept fool he is, we'd be a province of China by now......
