The sequester is merely a band aid for a government that that is in critical condition becuase we are simply running out of other people’s money. Future cuts will be necessary and be far more painful. Its inevitable.
The GOP has enabled this mess IMO and should be held accountable along with their Democrat partners in crime.
good. shut it down
Right, but we have money for hormone shots for Bradley Manning because he wants to be a girl and it is the “right thing to do” even though he is a convicted traitor. We also have money for:
palestinian mortgages
helicopter flights to look for dead ducks and to persecute oil execs but not windmill operations
all manner of stupid studies
$380,000,000 to remodel the oval orifice
and on and on and on.
The problem being that mandatory spending (i.e. Entitlements) were exempted from the Sequester.
The takers are taking just fine - thank you very much. The "pain" you cite is not being felt by most Americans.
It can't go on.
Even is we "zeroed" out Defense, we are screwed.
