On Police Memorial Day Obama's Budget Demoralizes America's Cops With Fine Print Cuts

Obama is slipping lots of dangerous lines into his new budget. Some turn the nation’s back on our police and others will make our streets more dangerous. Still others help illegal aliens go undetected. In Obama’s world cops cost money and illegal aliens become Democrat voters. For him everything is political.

Remember Obama’s campaign talk about “shared sacrifices?” It’s turning out to be nothing but socialist double talk. The details of Obama’s proposed budget are seeping out.

Here are some of his cuts.

He wants to cut almost half of the federal benefits provided for the surviving families of local police officers killed in the line of duty. This compact with America’s cops has been in place for 35 years. For all these years the benefits offered by the federal government have been the main support for small town police officers’ families after the line of duty death of their loved one.

Currently the program pays $300,000 in survivor benefits. While 2008 saw the lowest number of officers killed in the line of duty in decades, so far 2009 has seen a 28% surge ahead of last year’s number at this point.

Obama’s budget message also calls for eliminating funding for the “Securing the Cities” program which pays for the New York Police Department’s system to detect and deal with radiological or nuclear terror threats.

This funding has gone to arming individual officers and their vehicles with radiation detectors and has worked well to protect the city.

Obama wants to end other pro police items as well.

His 2010 budget will end the State Criminal Alien Assistance Program (SCAAP) saving $ 400 million in a three trillion dollar budget. SCAAP pays for detecting arresting and jailing illegal aliens who commit an increasing number of violent crimes in our streets.

If Barack Obama looked us in the eyes and said he wanted to do as much harm to us as he could with his new budget he would have a tough time beating these items. Do you think this man has America’s best interests at heart?
