I didn’t read the whole thing but, from what I DID read, he sounds like he is dead on target!

Personally, if these measly “cuts” result in all this reduction in government, I say bring it on!

Based on your non-answer I am going to assume you are a 911 truther.

Our local propaganda outlet had a story this morning about the effect of these cuts. Less funding for Head Start? Good. The program is worthless anyway. Fewer TSA and air traffic controllers? In my neck of the woods, no one can afford to travel. Less funding for “education?” A joke since 75% of students here taking the SATs last year failed and we have among the highest dropout rates in the country, despite billions of dollars already spent on “education.” Huge percentage if furloughed government employees? I bet if we lost 90% of those employees, no one would notice.

So far, I don’t see a downside to sequestration, at least not here.

I’m not familiar with “truther” used about 911, I assume it’s about NWO conspiracy with the hijackers? I don’t believe the NWO orchestrated or caused it, but I do believe they saw it as an opportunity and have taken advantage of it.

I was very naive at that time. I remember telling people in the days after 911 that “maybe now some good can come out of this, Bush will seal the borders now and start tracking down and deporting people here illegally”. I have to laugh at my own ignorance now.

I also thought the Chief Justice of the USSC would uphold the Constitution too.

Based on your statements I will ask you; do you think that anyone in the US govt was involved in a conspiracy to perpetrate the 911 attacks in NY and DC? Or had prior knowledge of same?

You’re asking the wrong questions. On purpose?

Pfl. Very confused about whether there are real cuts to the DoD in the sequester. Quick searches on wiki say yes. Rush and other typically reliable conservatives say no, it’s just reductions in growth.

“Obama’s Sequestration Scam”

“Obama’s [fill in the blank] scam”

It’s all a scam with that chucklehead in the White House.

The economy is in Free Fall and rampant out of control inflation is just around the corner. There is not one damn thing Obama can do to stop it, even if he does utilize sound and sane economic policy relative to tax and spending. The damage that he has done to this economy is massive and will come to no good end. He knows this. His economic advisers know this, the media knows this and so do the “vertebral" challenged Republicans know this. Except for a few lonely voices on the right of the political spectrum, no one says anything.

Obama has no choice except to force the sequester to take place. When the economy disintegrates over the next two years prior to the congressional elections he will blame the economic catastrophe on the fact that we had the sequester. He will blame the Republicans for this even thought it was his policy from the White House that proposed the sequester and was passed by a Democrat Senate and Republican House. The media will repeat his lies also known as talking points.

If the sequester does not happen, the Demonicrats will be wiped out in the next Congressional Elections. This battle is not about the economy but the battle for control of the House and Senate in two years.

The Republicans should propose two budgets. One that is exactly the same as last years. This budget will be rejected by the Senate. The second proposed budget should have the tax increases that Obama says he "really" wants. However, those tax increases would expire in two years. The tax increases will have a very negative effect on the economy and insure that the Demonicrats own the disaster. The House should send the budgets to the Senate every day they are in session and let Harry "corrupt" Reid reject it day after day after day. Let the Senate Demonicrats own this along with their socialist quasi Marxist leader, President Obama.

Give Obama the economic policy he "says he wants" but for only two years and not one day more. The people will then get to vote on the results in the next elections.

I am puzzled why a President that is 1000 and 1 percent governed by political power associate with someone that has become a political liability. It does make one go HMMMMMMMMMMMMM, pun intended.

You can’t really take ANY of these clowns seriously.
All we have heard the last 2 wks is all the dire ‘things’ that are going to happen.
Of course EVERYONE was on ‘vacation or break’ from the rigors of the inauguration/lame duck session/break, the absolutely terrifying ordeal of the ‘Pre/Post Christmas Break’, the strenuous ‘Pre/Post Thanksgiving Break’ which followed the arduous and draining ‘Reelection Break’ which came after the ‘Fall/Labor Day Break’ which was close on the heels of the ‘Summer Vacation Break’.

I certainly hope “Chicken Little and Friends” are getting ‘Frequent Flier’ miles.

I would venture to guess that nary a ‘Czar’ has been let go, and the ‘last check’ written by the Treasury etc will go to ‘OUR LEADERS’.

The only ones that haven’t really taken a break are obozo and ‘the press’.

obozo is taking his ‘world retirement’ tour right after securing another 4 yrs, the press is lapping it up after him and “WE” are basically like a dog chasing his tail - with more and more ‘revelations’ as to the character etc of the idjits that are leading us....
NOVEMBER 6 was the day for THAT TEST - not p’in and moaning about it 4 mos later with 44 months staring us in the face. The way things are going we are going to lose the House in 2014, so all that is needed is an ‘accident’ involving a SCJ or 2 and we are going to be in deep kimchi.... well deeper.
You can almost ‘bet’ that any ‘New Supreme’ will be near the minimum age and so far left he/she will almost be ‘right’. Or some ‘true’ patriots along the lines of Clinton(s) or Gore (Too old, BUT very scary).
Naturally in 2016 (if it should matter) Moochelle and Jill will be offered to ‘continue’ the job of the total dismantling of the Country. The ‘R’s will counter with either another Bush or some Very Left Leaning Candidate.

Solution? Admittedly I have none BUT for starters
We ‘ground’ AF 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 - Marine 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 etc.
With todays Communication ‘Miracle’ ANY of our leaders can reach out to the citizenry via “Closed Circuit” and not bring all the drama of Road Blocks, Security, and General Frustration to the area where ‘they’ are trying to pull more wool over our eyes’.
Hell, he could pull an FDR and bring back the ‘Fireside Chats’ and commandeer ALL the TV and Radio Outlets OR TWITTER or TWEETER or whatever it is called - it would be cheaper than keeping AF1 idling at Andrews.
The ‘real gutty’ Reps/Sens refuse their ‘check’ (sure it is grandstanding and they will get it eventually)
