[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think part of the problem is the sense on the Hill that DC wastes an incredible amount of money on frivolous or ineffective programs.  Bike lanes, violence interuptors, street murals, luxury apartments for the homeless, etc.  Need to fix this going forward…[/quote]

Even ignoring the merits of this argument, it's unfair. It shouldn't matter to them if D.C. wants to waste its money, though -- it's local dollars, not federal dollars. The principle involved is local control, not fiscal responsibility; if we were wasting federal money, that'd be different. [/quote]

Well, when congresswomen are assaulted in their DC apartments.  And, Congressmen are brazenly carjacked. And when senior Congressional staff suffer life changing wounds.  Then the merits sorta go out the window.[/quote]

Therefore, cut the budget??? Make it make sense.[/quote]

The DC Council in large part created policies that enabled the crime wave.  They all played footsie with the BLM crowd.  But NOW they are concerned about public safety funding. OK…[/quote]

again make it make sense. [/quote]

The goofy council is on the Hill saying the CR will mean cuts to public safety.  Also, they helped create the public safety crisis.  Oh, well…[/quote]

Exactly! This is the council that legalized shoplifting. Unbelievable![/quote]

Ok … explain again how budget cuts are going to improve public safety? [/quote]

The federal government will take over the DC Police Department. Under this new leadership, the DCPD will be supported accordingly. Gone will be the woke DC government mayor and council leadership that loved to indict police officers and glorify criminals.

“DCPD” = troll tell. you’re not in DC. [/quote]

Whether a DC resident who refers to MPD as such or not, the point seems valid.  [/quote]

It’s completely made up. False.[/quote]
