- Agents of the Secret Service charged with protecting America’s elected royalty also will not be cut.

- Oh, by the way, tax revenues are also expected to hit record highs this year at around $2.7 trillion. Still think lack of money is the government’s problem?
- Lawmakers in Colorado tired of cops shooting innocent dogs all of the time will introduce a bill requiring all law enforcement to take dog encounter training.
