Because we’re going to hear more in the next few days about Benghazi and how it was all Hillary’s fault, here’s something you should know.
For fiscal 2013, the GOP-controlled House proposed spending $1.934 billion for the State Department’s Worldwide Security Protection program — well below the $2.15 billion requested by the Obama administration. House Republicans cut the administration’s request for embassy security funding by $128 million in fiscal 2011 and $331 million in fiscal 2012….
[In 2011] Secretary of State Hillary Clinton warned that Republicans’ proposed cuts to her department would be “detrimental to America’s national security” — a charge Republicans rejected.
[GOP vice presidential nominee Paul] Ryan, [Rep. Darrell] Issa and other House Republicans voted for an amendment in 2009 to cut $1.2 billion from State operations, including funds for 300 more diplomatic security positions. Under Ryan’s budget, non-defense discretionary spending, which includes State Department funding, would be slashed nearly 20 percent in 2014, which would translate to more than $400 million in additional cuts to embassy security.

On a slightly related note, I had this dream of terraforming the deserts to support more farms and provide more livable land for people. It turns out that might be a very bad idea, especially if done in the Sahara Desert. You see, that great big waste land feeds iron and other nutrients into the Atlantic Ocean via dust storms. If there were plants covering it, the dust storms would stop, ocean life would starve, and less CO2 would be recycled – thus chocking the planet.
