I agree with GeronL.

The meat inspectors are not part of the military. How is the USDA getting cuts?

This is just like dealing with your local school district: If they don't get the budget money they want they get revenge by making cuts in the most painful ways.

This is shameful. And why doesn't the media point out that Obama could eliminate the education and energy departments and no one would notice?

That was my thought, as well. The Marxists control the food supply.

About half of the automatic spending cuts are against civilian, non-military programs. There’s propaganda from all political sides on the issue, but nonpolitical, non-spending, non-global, truly private sector folks are laughing at it.

Yeah, yeah, we know. Government and its favored, government-linked business constituents will never cut spending on federal funding for local regulators, manhaters or weirdos. They’ll go on strike to allow their foreign communist conspirators to nuke us, starve us, etc.

They’ll spy on us, shoot us, read our minds, and so on. LOL! They tell us daily that it’s the end of the world. No economic activity means no revenues for them. They will be poor. The fascists/commies can kiss America’s feet after the bond market failures, repudiations, austerity measures, etc.

Real or not this time around; FDR did manage to almost destroy the meat industry during his reign of terror.

Socialists are all about completing unfinished business when it comes to their goals.

FUBO & FAD

Exactly.

Instead of cutting back on administrative bloat and excess, the government idiots' first impulse is "let's cut recess"...
