No one could've predicted...
The Department of Homeland Security, apparently ready to cut its losses on a so-called invisible fence along the U.S.-Mexico border, has decided not to exercise a one-year option for Boeing to continue work on the troubled multibillion-dollar plan involving high-tech cameras, radar and vibration sensors.
The result, after an investment of more than $1 billion, may be a system with only 53 miles of unreliable coverage along the nearly 2,000-mile border.
And so another Bush-era boondoggle bites the dust, as conservatives seek magic solutions to a serious and complex problems.
Only question is, how many more billions will be pissed away building more fences. Someone should let Republicans know that they've invented these fence countermeasures called "ladders".
All of this would be funny, if these supposed "fiscally conservative" xenophobes didn't insist on shoveling billions of our dollars into this money pit.
