It’s a look at the stories that have made the CNSNews.com Best of The Week.

Bulking Up on Bullets

The government accountability office has released a report that shows that the Department of Homeland Security has contracted to purchase over 704 million rounds of ammunition over the next four years, which is equal to a total of about 2,500 rounds per DHS agent per year.

The report claims the ammunition is for training and qualifying agents.

Pack of Problems

Qualified animal agents may be needed in Arizona. Stray packs of Chihuahuas are reportedly roaming the streets of some Arizona communities ready to snarl and yap at anyone who is unfortunate enough to cross their path.

Double the Marketable Debt

Scarier than a pack of Chihuahuas is the marketable debt of the U.S. government doubling.

The marketable debt of the U.S. has climbed by 106 percent while President Barack Obama has been in office, increasing from over $5 trillion at the end of January 2009 to over $11 trillion at the end of January 2014, according to the U.S. Treasury.

The marketable debt of the U.S. government includes all debt securities sold by the U.S. Treasury that can be held by individuals, corporations or other entities outside the U.S. government and that can be sold in the secondary market.
