NBC New York reports: The feds are slashing terror funding for New York’s mass transit system, according to Sen. Charles Schumer.
The surprising move comes just 11 days after a botched attemped to explode a car� bomb in Times Square — yet another reminder that New York City remains the prime target for terrorist strikes in the United States.
Senator Charles E. Schumer�blasted today�s announcement that the Department of Homeland Security would be slashing the Big Apple’s allocation of Mass Transit and Port Security funding.
�For the administration to announce these cuts two weeks after the attempted Times Square bombing shows they just don�t get it and are not doing right by New York City on anti-terrorism funding, Schumer said in a statement.� “We urge them to reconsider this decision. Instead of distributing funding all over the country, they should focus their attention where the greatest threat exists, right here in New York.�

i am confused, we just got a terrorist scare and homeland security is slashing funds from preventing these threats. what??? i dont understand just bec the threat was not actually carried means that it wont happen for real???
Maybe it’s payback time for Sen. Schumer’s comments about the President’s mid-East policies.
I hope we survive until we get Mr. Oh (my G-d) out of office. Hashem Yishmor.
