I agree with that. Do you all realize the significance of this , that the Republicans stood up to obama and the media, that finally this might be a cut in government ( there has never been one).
My research showed as this article does that many government agencies even the EPA will get 9% cut even before inflation. with inflation that is even a greater cut.
The following is a quote from this Fox news article .
http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/03/01/sequestration-when-will-feel-pain/#ixzz2MKxTcS
Obama formally notifies government agencies that sequestration is in effect.Even if the budget for some of these gov agencies stayed the same that would be a cut because of inflation. see the military will get a 13% cut but those dollars will have even less value because of inflation so then they will be able to buy less tanks etc. because those dollars have less value even if budget stayed the same. . .Sometime today the Office of Management and Budget will order all federal agencies to cut their budgets by around nine percent, except for the Pentagon which needs to cut defense programs by 13 percent.
Once Obama issues the sequestration order, Treasury Department officials will take offline the computers that process payments for school construction and clean energy bonds to reprogram them for reduced rates. Payments will be delayed while they are made manually for the next six weeks.
Employees at the Environmental Protection Agency will get e-mails notifying them that a forced furlough of up to 13 days lies ahead
At the Department of Housing and Urban Development, officials will spend the weekend mailing out letters to governors in all 50 states showing how much their grants will be reduced in the coming days and weeks.
Programs that dole out funding as an intermediary — like public rent assistance, farm loans and food programs — will see immediate cuts
Any cut to the EPA makes me smile. The thing is the military expense isn’t about just buying tanks and there are many projects that are just crap just like in other parts of the government. Not everything is essential because it is labeled military. The same goes for countless other categories. If any additional danger comes to our soldiers it will not be because of these cuts but because of the Obama Administration’s choice.
“that finally this might be a cut in government ( there has never been one). “
This isn’t even a start!
This is only a cut in the increase from last year, IT’S STILL A BUDGET INCREASE!!!!!
