Shown here are Federal Premium hollow point bullets.APRepublican Rep. Jason
Chaffetz said Thursday that the Department of Homeland Security is using
roughly 1,000 rounds of ammunition more per person than the U.S. Army,
as he and other lawmakers sharply questioned DHS officials on their "massive"
bullet buys."It is entirely ... inexplicable why the Department of Homeland
Security needs so much ammunition," Chaffetz, R-Utah, said at a hearing.The
hearing itself was unusual, as questions about the department's ammunition
purchases until recently had bubbled largely under the radar -- on blogs
and in the occasional news article. But as the Department of Homeland
Security found itself publicly defending the purchases, lawmakers gradually
showed more interest in the issue.Democratic Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass.,
at the opening of the hearing, ridiculed the concerns as "conspiracy theories"
which have "no place" in the committee room.But Republicans said the purchases
raise "serious" questions about waste and accountability.Chaffetz, who chairs
one of the House oversight subcommittees holding the hearing Thursday, revealed
that the department currently has more than 260 million rounds in stock.
He said the department bought more than 103 million rounds in 2012
and used 116 million that same year -- among roughly 70,000 agents.Comparing
that with the small-arms purchases procured by the U.S. Army, he said
the DHS is churning through between 1,300
Fox News Poll: 40 1093escribe nations debt as 'crisis'Voters say it is
more important to continue funding Social Security and Medicare at their
current levels than to reduce the federal deficit. Yet more than half
also think tax increases should not be considered during the current round
of budget negotiations, according to a new Fox News poll.Given those views,
it's unsurprising that more voters disapprove (53 percent) than approve
(39 percent) of President Obama's proposed budget, which includes both reductions
to entitlement program benefits and tax hikes on upper-income Americans.The
split is not entirely along party lines. Nearly a third of Democrats
give the president's budget plan a thumbs down (62 percent approve, 31
percent disapprove).The sentiment is even stronger on the tax issue.Since
taxes rose in January, a 55-percent majority of voters says tax increases
should be off the table for the next budget deal. Most Republicans
feel that way (68 percent), but so do many Democrats (42 percent).At
the same time there is a clear consensus that debt is a
concern. Four in 10 voters describe the nation's debt situation as a
crisis, and more than 8 in 10 see debt as a major
problem (43 percent), if not a crisis (40 percent).CLICK TO VIEW THE
FOX NEWS POLL.Even so, by 54-40 percent, voters prefer keeping Social Security
and Medicare programs funded at their current levels over reducing the deficit.On
