As The Raw Story and ABC News point out: New York City is home to the Statue of Liberty, Empire State Building, Brooklyn Bridge, Times Square, Broadway, the Guggenheim, New York Stock Exchange, United Nations, Rockefeller Center, and a host of other world-famous landmarks. The equally famous, now-lost World Trade Center was the site of the bloodiest terror or foreign attack ever on US soil.
Yet...Michael Chertoff, Homeland Security Chief, claims that New York has no icons and therefore will get a 40% reduction in Homeland Security Funds. There has also been a reduction in Homeland Security funds for Washington, DC. There have been increases for Jeb Bush's state of Florida as well as Arnold's state of California. Makes one really wonder...is this about politics or "homeland" security?
