Does Think Progress publish anything that's accurate? I mean really, everytime someone posts a link, it turns out to be bullshit. In this case, the source is a union guy, not managment or any agency budget heads that say warning centers have been targeted.
I guess for that reason I shouldn't mind you guys constantly using it. Carry on!
That's not just a TP piece, it's an AP news item. If you don't want to listen to a commie pinko union head, maybe you'll listen to a commie pinko Congresswoman?
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2011/03/11/AR2011031103810.htmlRep. Colleen Hanabusa, D-Hawaii, called the GOP cuts reckless and even dangerous.
"This disaster displays the need to keep the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center fully funded and operational," said Sen. Daniel Inouye, D-Hawaii, chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. "I hope my Republican colleagues in the House are now aware that there was a horrific earthquake and tsunami in the Pacific."
Or perhaps a commie pinko Senator:
Sen. Daniel Akaka, D-Hawaii, said the disaster in Japan demonstrates the importance of public safety programs such as the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center.
"The warning center provided critical information to public safety officials for an effective response to the tsunami," Akaka said. "The House-passed bill that attempts to slash the warning center's budget is shortsighted and puts our nation's security at risk."
