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.
