Soldier denied service at Muslim owned service station

[jeffmo]

the safety forces positions were lost when the economy went south.it wasn't because of poor planning.IF that were the case then we should NEVER add to safety forces because no one will ever have the ability to tell when we are going to have bad times.Over the last 10 years run volumnes have steadily increased but staffing has been reduced.MOST departments i'm aware of now bill for EMS services which means that they are doing more with less.Exactly how much more would you say we should concede to where it comes to our safety?

MAYBE,if we simply eliminated wasteful spending at ALL levels of gov't we wouldn't have had to see safety forces reduced to unsafe levels.
Now,blame it on whoever you'd like to but when jobs left our country for foreign soil THAT'S when our troubles began.I don't care who would have ended up in the whitehouse,turning and economy around that took years to go bad would be like stopping a train on a dime....it'll never happen.
So what's so bad about being a democrat w/ middle of the road views that you feel the need to say "it shows"??
