Agency: Homeland Security
Spending: $44.3 billion
Percentage Change from 2011: 1.8 percent increase

Discretionary Spending: $879 million
Highlights: Obama's proposed homeland security budget would provide money to purchase 275 full-body imaging machines for airports. These machines have been criticized by privacy advocates who say the images are too explicit. Aviation and cargo security remain a top administration concern as terrorists continue to target both for attacks. The president also asked for more funds for federal air marshals than he requested the previous year. And the budget proposal includes money to hire 300 more Customs and Border Protection officers to screen passengers and cargo.
Grant funding for state and local law enforcement along the southwest border would be cut by $10 million, despite continued security concerns posed by Mexican drug cartel violence. Obama also proposed cutting more than $450 million to consulting and professional service contracts and called for reduced spending on travel, printing and supplies.
The budget also calls for funds to replace aging equipment in the Coast Guard, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Customs and Border Protection.

I like this guys comment:

American workers have become TAX SLAVES because of the liberal's Marxist agenda for the last 100 years. In 1912 the income tax was established, with the promise that only a few top income brackets would pay income tax. During WWII, payroll withdrawal of taxes was started, so the government could rob workers money before they even got it. Now we are tax slaves, cattle to be harvested by the political Establishment.
Time for a TAX REVOLT! End the income tax, let workers and investors keep the money they earn. Replace the income tax with a 5% national sales tax. Cut government by a half or more. End the Federal Reserve System and return to honest money.
The phony Republicans are no better than the Democrats. Republicans support the Marxist income tax, too. They just divide and conquer Americans with their tax-the-rich-less nonsense, but they still want to tax all of us.
