..but the ones who caused this mess...
...the low info, welfare "voters" do not know..
..and will not know, for they pay no attention..
&
their votes count just as much as ours.
..we will not get out of this mess for a generation unless a valid vote is tied to a lifetime of positive payments to the US Treas by the voter.
...I want what the President wants...
NO PAY, NO PLAY!
They called it the "government shutdown" that time.
Introduce uncommon terminology into the lexicon for obfuscation/elevated-importance purposes. Create a World Wrestling Federation atmosphere and amplify it without pay-per-view. Ca$h the check$. Admire the balance$. Rinse. Repeat.

Gee, Forbes just glommed on to what Rush has been saying for weeks.
Most here know this but unfortunately the opposite has already grounded itself as common knowledge amongst the low info crowd.
No representation without taxation. If you don’t have skin in the game, you shouldn’t have a say in how the game is played.
The local news last night was all about the pain of sequester cuts (minus weather and commercials).
They interviewed people who are going to lose their homes, firefighters that will be fired, prisons losing half of their staff, schools closing and doubling up in one building....on and on and on and on.......
I was screaming at the TV - liars and my husband tech wise the smartest man I have ever known said “how do you expect to cut $1.2 trillion dollars from this years budge and this not happen?”
I was dumb founded, at first I thought he was joking.
Then I said it is not $1.2 trillion it is $44 billion this year with half from defense.
He said “are you sure you are correct?”
He then said “but that’s a just reduction of less than 2%”.
I was very sad, if he didn’t “get it”, we really are screwed.
I know that. You know that. John Boehner (Op-Ed) and Paul Ryan (This Week) doesn’t seem to know that.
Point of clarification: for 1st qtr, is it $22 Billion, $45 Billion or $85 Billion? I heard all 3 numbers used in as many or more articles, and am totally confused.
Is there an accurate number we’re actually dealing with? Or are these just more 0scumbag/DoD/White Hut-Crib accounting tricks to confuse us all?
I’d just seen pics 6 carriers sitting idle in a port for refueling/refurb etc. Would the US Navy really put 6 carriers that close in a port, in case of an attack or terrorism? Just wondering.... (no military exp, so I don’t know.)
Is that what we’re truly down to: one carrier left in the ME’s Strait of Hormuz and the rest of the world? Holy Carp if we are!
Low Information Voter? Let's call a spade a spade.
Fifty per cent are ignorant and the other fifty per cent are plain stupid. Oh my!!!! I hope that wasn't too offensive to the morons.
It might not cut the budget, but it does cut my take home pay by 25% and the way it is being implemented makes it more difficult for me to take on a second part time job to make up the difference.
I weighed 200 pounds going into the holiday season. Unfortunately, with the numerous holiday feasts I was sure I had packed on 10 pounds by the end of the holiday season. When I stepped on the scales again I found out I weighed only 206. Under the government accounting principles and with the magic of baseline budgeting I could claim to have lost 4 pounds! I think it’s great.

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.
