4. A $700 Billion bailout for crooks, but chop a few million $ from aviation safety to "save" money.

According to the article in the Miami Herald:

(snip)
.......
If the consolidation plan moves forward -- the project would enter a testing phase if the FAA accepts next week's proposal -- controllers would have to rely on forecasters in Kansas City to advise them about local weather. Sobien said the program costs about $11 million a year and estimated the FAA would save about $4 million a year through consolidation.
.......

Republican "priorities" at work.
