“Your hero also mocked the damage the Sequester has done to the men and women who serve our nation in the military (and continues to do so).”

Pardon me, but it seems to me that as money is fungible, the cuts could have been applied elsewhere. That makes me think that it was a deliberate decision by the Chairman Maobama regime to hurt the military, and not an unavoidable effect of the sequester.

I guess the 50 cent word of the day is "fungible." Congratulations.

the cuts could have been applied elsewhere.

Let's face some facts, shall we?

The military is 17% of the Federal budget. It consists of some of the bravest and most selfish members of our nation. Many of them have been wounded in the service of their nation. Most of them on active duty have endured multiple deployments to combat zones.

Yet, this is the ONE area of the Federal budget that has been fiscally raped, by both parties.

And, our Entitlement taker class thrives under the Sequester. Entitlements listed above are Exempt from Sequestration. And the GOP voted for that, and yet they do nothing to stop the bleeding of our military.

I hope you are proud.
