Blame Harry Reid..”over and over and over.
Wouldn’t it be funny if the cuts were actually made and nobody noticed the difference?
The cuts won’t happen.
The Military budget could be managed better, but the reckless way in which this would be implemented isn’t in the best interest of National Security.
The dhimmis are going to scare people into believing that if only we could strike a deal w/ the dirty GOP, the cuts could be avoided.
The cuts cannot be avoided are are just the beginning.
So, what’s the down side?!?
My conclusion: One of the most Idiot-ridden administration’s in US presidential history. Stay tuned cause they are not finished. =.=
So, what’s the down side?!?
Any cut from Mochelle kitty?
And, at the same time....the spending on social programs, etc goes up something like 35%!!!!!!!!!!!
“The sequester was designed to be bad policy,” said Carney. “To be onerous. To be objectionable to both Democrats and Republicans.”
Billions of dollars would be slashed from defense operations...
Reapportion what is left. Renegotiate that $20 million being spent in Afghanistan for firewood.
... and maintenance programs, says the administration.
I always have to prioritize the maintenance around my place. Should be the same around "the administration's" place.
Medicare would take a two-percent hit, trimming millions in payouts to health care providers.
"Millions" is a lot of money, but it ain't like it is all coming out of Marcus Welby's pocket alone. It is 2%, spread across the spectrum of providers.
Scientific research programs would be gutted.
Gutted? How about slowed down. Some of them should be dropped, anyway.
Aid for the poor and needy would be sharply curtailed.
This is a tuffy. Jesus did tell us, however that the poor will always be with us. However, if "aid" isn't "curtailed sharply" now, it will be eliminated later.
More than a billion dollars would even be wiped from the State Department's diplomatic and consular program, ...
Does this include foreign aid to places like egypt and libya?
...including $127 million for embassy security, construction and maintenance and $2 million for the protection of foreign missions and officials, according to the document.
Particularly poignant right now, huh? Turns out the bastages weren't appropriately using the money for security as it was. The money shouldn't be missed. Beyond that, lay off 1/2 of the State Department's complement of employees. That will leave fewer meddlers on the payroll.
"The report leaves no question that the sequestration would be deeply destructive to national security, domestic investments and core government functions," the administration writes in the report, which was submitted to Congress as required by law.
This should read, "...deeply destructive to national security, domestic investments and core government functions as we have known them.
Administration, get ready to meet your new world.
obama wants the cuts. He can use it as a campaign issue plus it hurts the country’s security.
The Navy will have a fleet the same size as in 1915, but with aluminum ships like the floating turkey LCS.
Well, the Pentagon doesn’t need bullets; the Social Security Administration needs bullets. I thought everyone was clear on that.
Scientific research programs would be gutted.
Bet the Voyager probe would be turned off just as it’s getting close to interstellar space. And they would turn off the Opportunity and Curiosity Mars rovers. Hell, they would probably shut down NASA completely. Anyway, we don’t need no stinkin scientificy research. Thats for nerds and dorks. And it’s all run by commie mooslums. Let the rest of the world dominate that kind of stuff.
Oooo Scary!!!
No one wants all this PAIN
So just keep on spending, spending, spending.
Foos.
