Right now we have to all pray for a bio terrorist attack. Pray as hard as you can to whoever/whatever you can EMAWs.
Guys, this isn't something to joke about. This is horrible news.
Actually, the "Soft on SECURITY"Is already being heard. Had a conference call and it was brought up at least 6 times. As you point out it isn’t defense, but the DOD and DHS together is security. Cutting DOD budget + Cutting DHS budget = SOS (Soft On Security).Chatter is out there that the House might go the other way and onetime fund the whole thing, at least in committee.
I mean JFC, do Brownback and Roberts really not have enough pull nationally to get a republican congress to not slash a budget for a national defense project in a red state? This is just maddening.

This is just maddening.Well, the President doesn't want to fund something fairly large in a state he has no hope of ever winning.Our only hope, God help us, is for the Republicans to make a play on this out of spite to help forward the, "Obama wants to slash defense and watch us all die," dialogue.

Congress slashed it to $50 million. Obama then came back and said that $50 million wasn't enough to do the project, so he took it all the way down to $10 million for swine flu research instead. That sounds like the republican congress squashing the project to me.
At least we got the state government to upgrade a shitload of stuff for us

What does it tell you about the State of Kansas when a school like Kansas State pretty much has to self fund a project like that?
