They will buy our weapons without us doing this. All we are showing is how arrogant and wasteful we can be. It is funny that it is the left and Obama who always complain about America's arrogance, but they are the ones doing crap like this. I am sick of it.

Going forward, every little dollar in government spending has to be accounted for. Federal budgets have to be slashed and we should fire twice as many federal workers as England did. (they just fired 500,000)

Even given the love for showmanship as practiced by most (not all) in India - it is a bit over the top.

But then many will say Emperor Obama 'deservces' this - why, dunno, but some are cool with the ontentaious display. Not me

As for the Brits. Those layoffs will come over the next two years. It's a start.

As for 'firing all the damn Govt employees' meme - just remeber that next time you stand in line for 4 hours at the DMV.... cutting where needed and possible, yes - wholesale cuts, maybe not so much.
