So very special. Not controlled by the Laws THEY MAKE FOR OTHERS.

The trillion dollar bling party rolls on!
What exactly was the problem with the Sequester?
Well... they got the massive part down pat...
Hey, they cut TSA by over 300 M and that business is being diverted to private contractors. Not a bad thing IMO.
“bipartisan compromise” means the GOP caved again. No media outlet ever calls on the Democrats to compromise, just Republicans and they always make it happen.
But less money for military retirements. Thanks Republicans for that “bipartisan compromise.”
The massive waste of "Head Start", now conclusively proven to have no effect, goes on.
It would take a Christo-sized veil in order to “unveil” something this massive.
Spending $1.1 trillion of our children’s money to reward those with political connections is a compromise?
I have a better idea. How about I list all the worthless, wasteful, and corrupt federal programs, so we can eliminate them all, and then we compromise by only eliminating half of them this year. I tried it a year ago, and I would immediately cut over $500B from the annual federal budget. That compromise will make me happy - until next year’s compromise and the year after that. We’ve had the wrong side of that compromise for decades, and the reckless and harmful spending is destroying the families liberals claim they want to help.
A bipartisan compromise that leaves the American taxpayers holding the bag, yet again.
This whole government is a criminal enterprise. Surely we can find 535 prison sells, somewhere cold and wet, with lousy food and no news feeds.
A bunch of crap no doubt
Only in Washington is a 2 percent spending cut known as a sharp spending cut.
First, given the remote possibility that some freepers and lurkers are not aware of this, Justice John Marshall had officially clarified that Congress is prohibited from laying taxes in the name of state power issues, essentially any issue which Congress cannot justify under its constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers.
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
Next, with Justice Marshall's clarification of Congress's limited power to lay taxes in mind, consider the following rough estimate as to what the ANNUAL federal budget should be. Noting that the plurality of Congress's Section 8-limited powers are defense related, and considering that the Department of Defense budget for 2013 was $580 billion, I will generously round the $580 billion figure to $1 trillion, but probably much less, to estimate what taxpayers need to fork over to Congress every year in order for Congress to perform its Section 8 duties.
The point is that we shouldn't be hearing about multi-trillion dollar federal budgets and $1.1 trillion spending bills which the corrupt media, including Obama guard dog Fx News, report without mention of Justice Marshall's clarification of Congress's limited power to lay taxes.

First law of holes: if you’re in one, stop digging.
These people who are elected and who claim to be working for the people, do nothing but pose for pictures and go on talk shows. It’s all done by professional staffers who are bought and paid for. We pay them a salary. Then the lobbyists pay them the bribes.
Congress shouldn’t be paid at all. Talk about a waste of taxpayers’ dollars!
