Now Republicans have turned the tables on Obama. If nothing happens by March 1, about $1 trillion worth of spending cuts will go into effect automatically. Ideally, Republicans don’t want the military spending cuts, and they have voted in the House to replace them with other cuts. But they can live with them if nothing happens.

Yeah sure, cut the military's balls off after working them like dogs for a decade.

Axe that defense budget and send the economy into a real tailspin.

Eff these peckerhead RINOS.

Defense budget for 2012 was something like $680 Billion.

The sequestration will cut the military budget by $500 Billion OVER 10 YEARS !!

That means about $50 billion a year. Which means instead of spending $680 Billion a year, it will be a “mere” $630 Billion/year.

How disastrous is that really?

So what's your solution? No spending cuts? Increase revenue to insulate the military from cuts?

We have had no real spending cuts. Neither party really wants spending cuts. They would rather keep the huge deficits and add to the national debt. Eventually, this house of cards will come crashing down on all of us. I say let sequestration happen.

If we can't absorb a $100 billion cut a year out of a $3.7 trillion annual budget, something is very wrong.
