IIRC, it was part of a bipartisan compromise suggested by the White Hut Occupier-In-Chief, himself.
3.7T/85B = spitting into a hurricane.
Bammy needs to accept the TEA Party’s reasonable and sensible understanding of budgeting and promoting self reliance.
I’m guessing the callers are all Moveon Morons.
As usual the “first idiot” gets a pass.
They sure have. Last time they "worked together" they deep sixed Christine O'Donnell's Senate candidacy.
Thanks DEGOP.
“The sequester, the budget cuts themselves, are actually no big deal. In reality, they’re not cuts at all. They still net out to an overall increase in spending. But make no mistake. The way our leadership in Washington — you know who I’m talking about — has created this poster child for bad leadership, that is a very big deal.”

“Look, the federal government is twice the size it was 11 years ago. We are spending almost $4,000 per person, per year,” Coburn said. “Some of it is not smart. But it’s the only way Washington, Republicans and Democrats, are ever going to get out of both parties some spending cuts.”
It’s been calculated that across the board cuts of about 4% in fed govt spending would bring us back to financial solvency over about 15 years.
Can you imagine the screaming if that was done?

Is the Asspress taking a liar’s holiday? Sure is a lot of steaming caca from Reuters today on FR.
Organizing for America is manning the call banks. Astroturf at its best.
He should resign after making that statement.
There are no cuts.
Republicans have about two weeks to get in front of this and put Obama away - come up with a list of everywhere in government where sequester cuts could be made without hurting anyone - like the hundred billion or so that’s supposedly sitting unused in the remains of lapsed programs all over Washington. Pass - don’t talk about or threaten - pass and send on to the Senate a bill which auhorizes the administration to direct cuts to these safe areas. Require every single Republican in the House to show up at at least one mass press conference to be scheduled every day for one month, to drive home the point to the public that it’s Obama’s choice to lay people off and cut viable programs if he or the ‘rats decline the chance to diffuse the cuts harmlessly. To dream the impossible dream......
what cuts?
If you think about it that makes sense. Both sides are disowning it blaming the other because spending cuts are unpopular.
Last year Republicans spent the year talking about how terrible it will be.
So the storyline is “They just cant get their act together and work together”
Simple solution : we need to blame Obama.
the sky is falling the sky is falling......let them all go home with no pay and just shut the government down. As far as I can tell they do us no good what so ever. Bring all the military home and place them shoulder to shoulder along our southern border and tell them shoot to kill. I am sick of all of it
Aprt of the 0bama pln. Poison the well, blame the R’s. My way or the highway..and this is the first time he didn’t get his way. So he goes crying and wining to the low info voters, assisted by the lapdog press core. lather rinse repeat.
Impeach this absolute horror of an elected individual. Barring that, make it so uncomfortable for him that he resigns. I could see it happening. The man doesn’t want to work anyway, just party and campaign. Nothing more.
