Carney: Americans Too Busy to Understand Sequester

"They are carrying on at my 12 year old's school about all the cuts and horror coming this way as a result. My son asked me to explain it. I told him that he gets ten dollars a week this year for his allowance. I told him I was planning on giving him thirteen dollars a week next year, but due to increased household costs I was reducing it to twelve dollars allowance next year. I asked him if he thought that was a cut in his allowance, and he said heck no, and thanks for the increase."

EXCELLENT! So what is it again I'm too busy to understand?

[Nachum]

Maybe he has a point.

Of course he has. He is laying out the crass politics of a Chicago political boss. The "yokels" want their beer, and bratwurst. The Yokels want their free checks and free food. We're gonna scare 'em real good. We don't care what you write either because our pals will tell them all that it is the fault of the evil rich.

We can say anything we want and you don't matter at all.

and look at it this way blackdog, your son is already smarter than 51% of the American people...and he’s only 12.

[dsrtsage]

Your analogy is a good one, but to be more accurate, you should have told your kid that his allowance would only raised to $12.96

“Digging a deeper hole every moment” And they care not one whit.

And why should they - there is no repercussions.

I discovered a more appropriate medieval term several days ago, try mewling quim.

Insults which cause to recipient to look for a dictionary are always more fun than run of the mill stuff!

[Doc Savage]

Can’t someone beat the sh*t out of this a**hole!

” So what is it again I’m too busy to understand? “

I’d say you’re too busy to understand that your 12 yr. old just suckered you into giving him a $2.00/wk raise. ;-)

I’snt Carney that guy who’s unable to locate his butt with both hands and the light on?

[mirkwood]

Another insult from the dems. The list is getting long.

[dforest]

Geesh Corney, the busy Americans know well what sequester is, the ones that support you scumbags, well, they haven’t a clue. If they did, they would spit in your face.

Since Obama, I find myself looking back fondly on the Clinton years. And the Carter years.

This, maybe more than any other reason, is why I really cannot stand libs and rats. They feel somehow that they are the smartest people in the room and we are too dumb or ignorant to understand what they are doing. It is patronizing, and morally reprehensible. It is what Bastiat called the “soft bigotry of low expectations.”

[GailA]

any house wife worth her salt knows the meaning of it. It is getting LESS than the amount you asked for, which was WELL OVER what you actually need. Please stop putting in dozens of $7 thousand speed bumps in 5 mph Military parking lots.........all over the USA. Waste of money, as is their new electronic price stickers few can read as many are above a woman’s average height.

Look on the bright side — you’re raising a winner!
