• The idea is to 'overwhelm the system.' It is already essentially bankrupt with worse to come. The Cloward-Piven followers in the White House find this the easiest work they've ever done. The messy part was done before they got there by Bush, Clinton and congress. So they sit and wait, spending lavishly on themselves...
  

(Reuters) – 1/6: "New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg on Wednesday said the costs of hosting the federal trials of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and other suspected September 11 plotters would top $200 million annually and formally requested that Washington cover the costs.

• "New York's financial resources are in short supply, and we have been forced to reduce our Police Department's headcount," Bloomberg wrote in a letter to White House Budget Director Peter Orszag dated January 5 and released to media on Wednesday.

"Securing the trial will require us to pull existing personnel from crime prevention efforts around the city and require significant overtime expenses," the mayor wrote.

• "As 9/11 was an attack on the entire nation, we need the federal government to shoulder the significant costs we will incur and ease this burden."

Bloomberg estimated the cost for security would be $216 million for the first year and $206 million annually thereafter."...
