How about we sequester foreign aid to our enemies for a while.
Bojangles will probably let it sit on his desk for a few days in a fit of his passive/aggressive behavior.
This strikes me as a form of budget hand holding a parent would do for their child, leading them step by step through a budget and pointing out exactly where each dollar should be spent and for what.
Here of course the “child” is Obama. I mean honestly, how difficult is it to absorb and manage a budget “cut” ( really again, a cut to spending increase) that’s less than 10% of the total budget? Households across the country do it all the time.
If the government did only two things -- put up statues of Benedict Arnold, and paid for medicine for sick children, and if the government had to cut spending, what would it cut? Obviously, they would cut back on the medicine for sick children: if they cut back on the Benedict Arnold statues, people might notice and begin to ask "Why do we do any of that, anyway?"
Probably. But at least the sheeple know the blame lies with BO. I hope congress grows a pair and keeps slapping him down regularly whenever he drops these road apples.
“Obama could do this if he were a competent executive.”
Well, in the case of the USPS, they are doing it and Diane Goldman Berman Fineswine’s husband, Tricky Dicky Blum is handling all the RE transactions. But then Fineswine/Blum would sell gas chambers to the Germans if they could make a buck. Jews should be ashamed to have to claim this pair.
Of course, they stuff cotton in their ears and choose not to.
There are so many federal equivalents of erecting statues of Benedict Arnold, we could go on and on. How much did it cost to queer the military? How much will amnesty for illegal aliens cost us? How much does it cost the Department of Agriculture to hire Spanish speaking flacks to recruit more of them to the food stamp rolls?
Just a few examples . . .
Obama will twist it to say that he forced congress to act and he Obama The Great WON
I hope to Hell this is sarcasm, because if it isn't, its absolutely pathetic that this is viewed as an achievement. Its also absolutely pathetic that Congress had to get involved with figuring out how to get an Executive agency to implement a 4% "cut" (remember: it isn't really a cut) without the wheels falling off.
But they might vote against us in the U.N.
Oh wait, these foreign countries we hand over the American treasure to, already do that.
When it comes to national suicide, our government has thought of everything!!!
So we cave once again. No surprise there.
Wonderful. This just gives the White House another victory. Contrary to what many of us have been claiming all week, this makes it appear that the FAA COULD NOT pick and choose where to apply their “cuts” (and, it WAS the Republicans who were to blame for any and all ATC furloughs).
The sequester must really be hurting the Dims for them to join in this.
These jerks need to fly probably more than most of us. It was cramping their style. That's how it could get passed so quickly. The Senate will very soon follow suit.
Letting dems reverse course to lessen the backlash on their policies IS CAVING.
Can't we all just get along while we continue spending trillions we don't have and have no hope of ever getting?
It is not caving. If we could repeal Obamacare, would this be considered caving?
