It's all relative -- New York's HS grant.

New York city's grant this year for Homeland Security is slated to be about 75 million less than last year, and they are pretty upset.

Meanwhile, in DC, we are spending THIRTY FOUR MILLION DOLLARS for the Asia Trail exhibit, a set of new "environments" for three pandas, the sloth bears, and a few other current zoo inhabitants.

Kind of puts it all in perspective.
