Arizona plans to coutersue the US Government

Jan Brewer announced today that she will file a countersuit against the federal government, claiming Washington has failed to enforce immigration law along the southern border.

Arizona plans to sue on five different counts, including a claim that the federal government has failed to enforce immigration laws enacted by Congress and a claim it has failed to reimburse the state for costs associated with jailing criminal immigrants.

In reading some of the comments posted about this article, it shocks me to see how many people are calling the AZ. Gov. a racist and a Nazi for her actions. How is it that these people, as well as part of our government, doesn't seem to know the difference between legal and illegal?

I can't understand how any American citizen can say that Jan Brewer is wrong for trying to get our government to uphold Federal law.

If your reading this, and feel what Jan Brewer is doing is wrong, then please take a minute and explain to me your reasons, because I can't honestly see what the 49 other states don't stand up and follow suit with Arizona...

Isn’t this a good time to get out of the United Nations?

The UN budget is around $2 billion dollars a year. The USA pays 22% of that budget, or approximately $440,000,000.00 per year.

How much money did the United Nations Development Program spend to create 5,280 "green" jobs around the world?

The United Nations Development Program, the U.N.'s flagship anti-poverty agency, has created 5,280 “green” jobs at the cost of $53.9 million. That’s an average of $10,208 per job spent in 2010 on 135 environmental projects world-wide.

But it now seems that Fox News has uncovered a document that the UNDP actually spent about $1.68 billion to create those 5,280 jobs, which would work out to a much more staggering average figure of about $288,700 per job.

With the economic situation we have today can we really afford to be shelling out that kind of money for nothing in return? I think that with $1.68 billion dollars our current government could have at least produced more than 5,280 “green” jobs. Really, the $440 million we give to the UN each year could be used in better ways than to help finance crap like that!

Fiscal crisis in the US?? Seriously, here?

In a FOX Entertainment story this evening, CBO Director: Trillion-Dollar Deficits Risk 'Fiscal Crisis' in U.S., the top numbers cruncher for Congress warned Thursday that the federal government increasingly risks sending the country into a "fiscal crisis," projecting that unless cuts are made, within a decade the national debt could reach nearly 100 percent of all annual economic activity. That's like having $50,000 in debt on a $50,000-a-year salary.

It strikes me as odd to make a statement like this, don't these people realize that a lot of us already realize that our country is going to hell in a hand basket, and fast?

How much money do you suppose they spent to figure all this out?
