Happy Sequester Day!!!
Barring an overnight deal, the Gov't is cutting $85Billion from it's bloated budget. This thread is to report the draconian events resulting from the catastrophe.....
we should do this on the first Friday of every month!
How many hours from now is the deadline?
I was able to make a pot of coffee - catastrophe diverted!
That is a start but very small, they could cut it three or four hundred billion by just abolishing a bunch of illegal agencies such as the atf and cutting the rest of the Government unwork force down.
“Midnight!!”
Meep. “Tempest in a Teapot” is one term that comes to mind. Of course, Obama will likely be as spiteful as he can with the “Draconian cuts” - since he da man.
And now it’s time for Sequester Movie Lines! (That’s #sequestermovielines on Twitter)
“Game over, man! Game over!”
“You want the truth? You can’t handle the truth!”
“I love the smell of napalm in the morning ... smells like victory!”
“Tell ‘em to go out there with all they got and win just one for The Gipper!”
“You got to show me the money!”
“Human sacrifice. Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria!”
“Well here’s another nice mess you’ve gotten me into.”
“What we’ve got here ... is failure to communicate!
At two percent and change, the sequester is The End Of The World As We Know It? Even the biggest Obamabots in the MSM must understand that this is silly.
* Reference: PJ O'Rourke's Circumcision Precept (O'R.C.P.): "You can take 10% off the top of anything" and nobody will notice much if any difference.

I thought it started overnight when I posted. Sorry for jumping the gun.
I bet the IRS stays fully functional thru it all.
“Sources on Capitol Hill have informed that the Senate is working on a backroom deal to give Odumbo nearly total control over federal spending for the rest of this fiscal year.
This is their “solution” to their self-created sequestration crisis.
Anyone have any more info on this?
Last week they said the deadline was 2/28/2013 at 23:59, now it is 3/1/2013 23:59. I guess someone miscalculated!
This has been the wet-dream of the democRATs for forever. Control is having no control(s) when democRATs are involved. It is the way of bringing more burden to the American people and one-half or more have said ... yes, bring me more of a burden, hurt my life and the lives of my family members. Some people never learn. (shakes head and throws up hands)
DHS will only be able to buy 1,470,000,000 rounds of .40 cal.
S E Q U E S T E R
We should SEQUESTER each and every “representative” /sarcasm and cut their pay, their medical, their retirement, their staff, their travel, their face-time, their lobbyists, their contributors, their benefits, etc., etc. Absent that, they should be in an electrified fenced area, in a remote location, foraging for food, electronically tethered, drone-watched, etc., etc. They are useless eaters.
—That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.
