This is a bad move for Obama. The public knows this game. Every year our school districts threaten to cut busing or cut football whenever a school levy fails. Obama is pulling the same crap cutting the most visible and the most painful services

Gun Nation ~ America's Love Affair with Firearms
2.5 million times per year in the U.S. someone defends their life, their families life or property using a firearm. 99.9% of the time no one is killed. Compare that to 33,000 firearm deaths only about 11,000 being homocides. Are you suggesting that we put 2.5 million Americans at risk to save 11,000 lives?
Prisons for Profit in America
Prison was originally supposed to have 2 main purposes: To "hold" people in confinement for breaking the law and to REHABILITATE offenders to become productive members of society. Obviously the second half of that was eliminated a few decades ago because some greedy "businessmen" saw an opportunity to cash in. So instead of focusing on the underlying problems behind the crimes, it became "well, how much can we make off these criminals?" American greed will be the death of this nation. This is the largest problem facing America today. These slave-drivers have taken more of our personal freedoms than Al-Quaeda ever could. The Prison-Industrial Complex encompasses everything from police brutality on the streets to free labor and overcrowding behind bars. Just keep focusing on stupid wedge issues like abortion and gay marriage while ignoring massive human rights violations. It could easily be you filling 1 of these beds, especially if you're brown to black in skin tone.
