Arizona's Leadership: Hypocrites Run Amok

Arizona's Republican politicians have no problem asking for increased security along the border: more technology, more laws, more national guardsmen, more grants for local law enforcement. Such increased border security has not been proven to actually improve security, i.e. stop drugs from entering the United States and stopping the millions if not billions of dollars from funding the Mexican drug cartels. And let's not forget the American guns headed to Mexico. 


There is never a reminder that this is wasted taxpayer money. Not one of them says, hey we are broke, we can't afford that. They don't mention that this is borrowed money from our children. But damn, if these arguments are made when they are asked to help the state's 15,000 unemployed. Jobless benefits extension fails; special session ends with no action. 

WTF? But then again, the federal government has failed to revive the economy at the same time that we have invaded four Middle East nations. Hey politicians that bomb, that bullet, etc. costs money. Why can't we spend that money on Americans, instead of attacking and killing foreigners?
