Why I don’t (completely) fear the recession

Subtitled, “Why the DC area will always, kinda-sorta, be recession-proof”.

From http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/04/01/fbi.counterterrorism/index.html:

The FBI needs more than 1,000 new agents, intelligence analysts and support staff, bureau Director Robert Mueller told House members Tuesday.Mueller is appearing on Capitol Hill to push for a $450 million budget increase to expand the bureau’s ability to combat terrorism, spying and other national security threats.

They may be losing jobs in the heartland to illegal immigrants but we here in the DC area are just one committee meeting from muthafuckin growth. And the poor jobless bastards get to pay for it!
