after all the NRO did it to get that big black secret building they built a couple yrs ago without having to go begging to Congress make the whole this public when you are trying to keep secrets

they just banked some black OPS money, not spent from yr to yr and said hey lets put up a new HQ

In 1985, a New York Times article exposed the existence and operations of the NRO.[7]

The existence of the NRO was declassified by the Deputy Secretary of Defense, as recommended by the Director of Central Intelligence on September 18, 1992. [8]

A Washington Post article in September 1995 reported that the NRO had quietly hoarded between $1 billion and $1.7 billion in unspent funds without informing the Central Intelligence Agency, the Pentagon, or Congress. The CIA was in the midst of an inquiry into the NRO's funding because of complaints that the agency had spent $300 million of hoarded funds from its classified budget to build a new headquarters building in Chantilly, Virginia a year earlier. The presence of the classified new headquarters was revealed by the Federation of American Scientists who obtained unclassified copies of the blueprints filed with the building permit application. After 9/11 those blueprints were apparently classified. The reports of an NRO slush fund were true. According to former CIA general counsel Jeffrey Smith, who led the investigation: "Our inquiry revealed that the NRO had for years accumulated very substantial amounts as a 'rainy day fund.'" [9]

can't these socialists keep anything secret

When the Government doesn't have time to read the bills it signs, we have a more serious problem!!!

Stop sending pork to the states and make them foot their own bills. Once they realize Uncle Sugar isn't going to bail them out, they might stop with all the reckless spending for social programs.

Ever notice how most states with the highest demographics of minorities are Democratic controlled voter cattle centers!!! If they keep giving away for free what is not earned, they will manage the masses and keep getting reelected!!! Maryland has 23 counties but it only took 4 or 5 to out vote the rest of the state. Those counties are mostly liberal with the highest population of minorities and nanny recipients!!!

Montgomery, Howard, PG, Baltimore, Baltimore City, and Charles county is next with the run off from DC and PG county...
