Homeland Security feeling budget pinch

Homeland Security secretary Janet Napolitano said earlier this week that due to budget pressures they will be cutting back on some security measures here and overseas. They want to delegate the work between the U.S and its allies in order to help ease the burden of overspending. She made a point to say that there will be no cut-back in maintaining the standards that are already in place. More or less they are taking turns doing inspections as opposed to a few nations inspecting the same place over and over. I believe this is a good start in trying to minimize this overspending that we are currently faced with. We, the U.S, doesn't need to be everywhere inspecting everything when other countries can do the same job. This is especially important in times like these when we were so far in debt already.
