Yet the EPA is responsible for enforcing Acts that cover clean air, clean water, cleaning up hazardous waste sites and green house gasses and protecting Americans from toxic chemicals and other major health risks. But due to a shortage of money, its budget is being slashed from $10 billion to a proposed $8.9 billion and will probably be cut even more as President Obama negotiates with the Republicans. http://yosemite.epa.gov/opa/admpress.nsf/d0cf6618525a9efb85257359003fb69d/4a92c2cc38832e0b8525783700664650!OpenDocument
The U.S. troops deserve air conditioning in the intense heat of Iraq where summer temperatures can hit 125 degrees and upwards of that temperature in Afghanistan. But most of the people of those nations don't have air conditioning and resent U.S. officials and soldiers having it. Their occupier, the U.S. which they want out, lives far better than they do in their countries in many respects, and they know that too.
It makes one wonder about America's priorities and its sanity. Spend these vast sums on air conditioning and staggering sums more for the soldiers to fight, rather than ending the wars and bringing the soldiers home safely to their families.

I never thought that a budget for the war in the middle east included air conditioning. I live in the DC area and I know how important it is to have my Air Conditioning Repaired. The summers can be brutal.
Let the professional handle this type of job. They have the right tools and expertise to do the job for you in no time.
You just have to be sure that you are hiring only the legit and reliable AC repair service. It would be wise to check on each background before deciding which service provider to hire.,
