Boston Marathon Bombings
It has been 2 weeks since the Boston Marathon bombings. I was away visiting my Dad for much of the aftermath of that awful tragedy including the apprehension of the last suspect on Friday. The resources brought to bear to solve this case were enormous. They included the FBI, the ATF, and others at the Federal Level. It occurred to me that these resources may not be available after 2025. That is when our entire Federal budget will be devoted to 3 programs-Medicare, Medicaid, and Social Security. Unless we reform these entitlements now in 2013 or 2014, they will crowd out our other national priorities including our need for a strong military, a robust FBI and ATF, and a stronger surveillance of the many potential bombing suspects. The President and the Congress understand the problem and its ramifications. When will they take action. When will, we the people, demand action from them.
