Bush Hurting Emergency Responders

As a fire fighter and a volunteer on the clean up of the world trade center disaster, I was heartened to read the great piece by David Corn. His post outlines how the Bush administration's priorities are hurting emergency responders, by putting all the money into the Department of Defense while shortchanging needed funding for domestic emergency preparedness:

The Bush administration is not protecting the nation from terrorism by both overspending on the Pentagon and underspending on first responders. That's the conclusion one can draw from reading two reports released in recent days.

The studies he is referring to come from the Libertarian Cato Institute and the First Response Coalition (FRC), where I both blog and serve on the advisory board, showing that First Responders will be underfunded by $100 billion by 2008.
