You keep posting these "happy happy joy joy" threads about the Sequester, when the first line of this drivel sounds like the drumbeat propaganda from Sean Hannity.
He does not seem to able to apply 4th grade math concepts.
It isn't 2.4% across the board - 62% of all mandatory entitlement spending is EXEMPT.
You know this because I have told you so.
It hits the military with a 13% cut in the middle of a fiscal year, and most of that cut has to come from Operations and Maintenance, which will be gutted.
Sequestration only touches 1/3 of our budget, which is discretionary spending.
Do you not fathom these facts, or are you just being disingenuous?
RE: Do you not fathom these facts, or are you just being disingenuous?
I appreciate this fact that you mentioned. However, let me ask you this, SHOULD THE MILITARY BE TOTALLY EXEMPT FROM CUTS?
Let’s say that Operations and Maintenance should not be cut, are you telling me that unlike other government programs, there is no FAT and WASTE going on in Defense?
