    I give him credit. He's managed to unite both the Dems and the GOP against his budget!

    I'm not sure why anyone cares what Dick Morris thinks, predicts, or says.

    Last Presidential cycle he predicted it was going to be Rudy vs Hilary. Pretty much everything the toe sucker predicts turns out just the opposite, so in a way he's a useful barometer.

    So are you saying the vote was not 99-0?

    You want a 99% consensus on something? If liberals and conservatives ever unify on the matter of civil liberties and freedom, this country will lurch away from 1984. Drones have already been distributed to police and await Congress to make them legal.

    The Chief Deputy (who is #2 under the Sheriff) of a county with 460,000 population in suburban Houston, wants to arm their drone to shoot people from the air with rubber bullets. You know what the next step will be.

    1. The vote was not on Obama's budget. It was on a proposal by the Republicans, so in all actuality it was the Republican party who got shutout.

    2. Dick who?

    3. I'm surprised the inevitable issue of drones being shot down willy-nilly in self-defense by citizens as they trespass onto private property has not yet been debated.

    300,000,000 Americans divided by 30,000 drones equals 10,000 people per drone.

    Metropolitan Portland-Vancouver WA (counties of Clark, Clackamas, Multnomah, Columbia, Washington, Yamhill, and Skamania) has 2.2 million people.

    Say hello to 2200 drones! Smile and say Cheese!

    30,000 drones at $300K each. A program only govt. can afford since we overfeed it.

    That multiplies to $10B, although I think the $300K ones are the Cadillac ones by police standards.

    The surprise is that these are already delivered, or being shipped, to all police departments before the FAA and Congress agree on how to manage this great increase in air traffic.

    None of you drone bees caught it? 2.2 million divided by 10,000 equals 220.

    I woke up and my dreams were telling me to correct it. This is like my working years. My head swam in numbers.

    I only make a few mistakes. Business owners LOVE finding out they lost money, then, April Fools! I am such a card!

    Rest easy, drone brains! Only 220 will fly over your backyard barbeques!
