Obama is doing to the US the same thing your local school board does when it wants a tax increase - cut the things that hurt the taxpayers the most. In the case of the schools, they cut things like school buses and after school activities. They leave the bloated staffs of vice-supretendants, vice principals, assistant vice-suprentendents, assistant vice-principals, etc. in place.

Obama is cutting the most necessary and important items, leaving such things as WWII occupation forces and bases standing. Obama will gut defense spending regardless of the sequester. At least with the sequester, the Republicans have some bargaining power to make other cuts.Don't fall for it! I repeat, Obama will gut the defense budget no matter what.

EXACTLY.

I heard that they propose to cut Dept of Agriculture Meat Plant inspectors for two weeks.

So for two weeks ALL meat packers in the US have to close.

No meat to grocery stores, bologna makers, etc.

Stupid.
