Vicky responds on the other side of the argument: The 9/11 terror attacks have cost our economy $7 trillion. It seems to me that spending a few hundred billion to prevent another such homeland attack is well worth the money. If you found a swarm of rattlesnakes in your basement, would you just close the door and "hope" they don't venture upstairs. Our economy cannot withstand another attack. Our government, at all levels, is trying to protect us. Another attack is what we can't afford. Vicky Heller Cedar-Riverside and North Oaks TEMPORARY REMINDER: 1.
