No worries. The Obamaphones won’t be affected.
So rich that it was Obama that first proposed it.
It should actually be people dependent on the government hit hard.
If you are poor but self reliant, there would be no difference in your condition. If you are dependent on the government for your day to day needs, you are screwed.
Nutrition programs, I read as school breakfast, lunch and dinner, long term unemployed? Excuse me? Some of them have been on the dole for more than two years!
Housing assistance? What, they get rent so the can afford the new car and big screen tv ? Yes, that happens, watched a HUD house go up, and when it was done, it had a brand new “dooly” pick up parked in the drive way.
So here is what I have to say I WOULD LOVE to see these “poor” people hurt during the sequester.
The taxpayers have supported them without so much as a thank you for way too long.
I'd rather the poor eat dirt than cut the military benefits.
There. I said it. Flame away.
Close the EPA, completely, then fire all the TSA employees and hire returning vets to profile passengers. How much would that ‘save’? And I am certain there are entire agencies which could be shuttered without major negative impact on the taxpayers. But of course a lot of government slugs would be out of ‘jobs’ ... which is a good thing dontchaknow.
All, remember that TARP (passed at the end of the Bush term) added about 800 billion to his 2008 budget. When Obama came in he passed ‘Stimulous’ which essentially cooked the extra 800 billion into the budget ever since. Now, remember, sequestration is only a cut in the growth of spending. All I’m saying is “what the heck is going on here?” Even if these were real cuts, where’s the 800 billion/yr going that we added to the budget about five years ago? The politicians are all criminals. Obama is an especially brutal criminal because he’s lying the worst about our spending problems. If we can’t even cut a sliver off of our bloated budget, how in the heck are we going to reform enitlement spending? We’re doomed. Obama is an out of control ego maniac with a huge chip on his shoulder. I’ve never seen a more angry condescending President in my life. He’s in way over his head. Oh well.
Good.
We got an Albatross called "Sequester" heading straight to Obama
Obama on hearing the news that "Sequester" IS COMING HOME TO ROOST.
The "complaint" is that the "cuts" are across the board ("chainsaw" approach, according to the article) and that some "cuts" shouldn't be as much in some areas. "The poor will be affected the most!!!" How about cutting off the "poor" receiving welfare but living in a 2000 square foot house with a 2 year old car, a couple of big-screen TV's with cable, XBOX's, internet, and who Ground Round burgers and Mahi-Mahi for dinner every night? Leave the really desperate poor alone, but get the moochers off.
And still I ask, "What CUTS?????"
“Sequester” is just the latest buzz phrase generated by an incompetent buffoon who tries to be the Dictator that Communist Frank Marshall Davis always wanted to be.
