While I concede that it is very difficult to reduce spending while attempting to protect the Nations homeland. I can only hope that Congresss belt tightens elsewhere. Examples of earmarks and directive language include: language limiting overtime pay to $35.000 for Customs and Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement employees. $55 million for the completion of the Tucson tactical infrastructure around the border and $15 million for the Coast Guards bridge alteration program. Although many of these are important programs and worthy of funding. they were not specifically authorized by Congress and not requested by the President. and they should be. Lastly.
