Bush lies AGAIN
 

BUSH SAYS....“We're working hard to make sure your job is easier, that the
port is safer. The Customs Service is working with overseas ports and shippers
to improve its knowledge of container shipments, assessing risk so that we have
a better feel of who we ought to look at, what we ought to worry about.� –
Bush, 6/24/02]


THE TRUTH....The President’s 2003 and 2004 budget provides zero for port
security grants. The GOP Congress has provided only $250 million for port
security grants (35% less than authorized). Additionally, in August, the
President vetoed all $39 million for the Container Security Initiative which he
specifically touted.
