“But Sequestration leaves all the Entitlement takers unscathed, and punishes those who work for and serve this nation.”
I had an evil sister who was crazy. She got away with everything she wanted because my parent s know that any attempt by them to enforce any discipline would result in an all-out 100% craziness on my sister’s part. My sister seemed to have the energy of the sun. My parents had to handle all the ordinary jobs of life, which took everything they had. My sister was capable of disrupting anything for any amount of time and handling that was more than my parents could deal with, so they capitulated.
It’s the same with the entitlement crowd. Take 10% of their entitlement in Sequestration and there would be well organized Nazis picketing politicians homes and the capital. The news would cover it and politicians, especially Democrats, would be damaged. The military is like us kids who were not crazy. We got disciplined and said nothing; no fight at all. As a result the crazy sister took from us and although we resented it, we said nothing.
she dead now?
Apt analogy.
No politician "fears" a bunch of NASA engineers, VA nurses, T-38 mechanics, or Intel Analysts going crazy on them. They DO fear a bunch of out of control takers who would resort to violence in a second if their EBT cards were cut.
