Budget cuts could mean more early releases, closed prisons

Dept. of Irony: Budget axe gets honed as Obama comes to town

Critics of Barack Obama have been joking lately that every time the President speaks the stock market takes a nosedive, so it is with no small amount of irony that headlines in both the Seattle Times and on-line Seattle Post-Intelligencer are talking about $2 billion more in budget cuts looming, just as Obama heads for Seattle Sunday for some fund-raisers.

That's why I'm stocking up on a few extra guns, ammo and food. I've been seeing more criminals getting huge breaks then ever before. I hear them talking about how easy crime is in WA. It's a main reason we get so many on parole come here from states likes TX.

Wonder if they'll start by first releasing those serving out sentences for drug USE?

More likely they'll just release the "non-violent" criminals. You know, the ones that only break into cars and houses stealing radios, tv's computers, etc.

If there is any wholesale release of prisoners expect to read about a few ending up in the Coroner's office. Wonder if they'll have funds available for processing them then?
