Nice job, Obama!

The USCGA is insignificant anyway.

nice job GOP

and let's see....we

save 1 live every da

do communications for the coast guard

do SAR missions

were the only SAR capability in NY harbor after 9/11 because active
duty side was on military duty

help to train USCG in drug interdiction, etc missions

but to the right wing, that's irrelevant. it doesnt help the rich


Nothing is going to stop the USCG Aux from doing these things with their
own resources. When an non-profit organization becomes a quasi-
government organization they might as well be fully part of the
government.

they are part of the govt. they're part of the CG. created by congress
in 1939 and reports directly to the commandant.
