That is true, but remember we still don’t have a budget so The Marxist in Chief has a lot of sway as to how he spends the money. The question that should be asked: how are they cooking the books to hide where the money really is going? Any bets that they are also trying to fund their own personal civilian security force where no one can watch the money flow. I will.

Not having a budget is very much like loosening the restrictions on the executive office. Many new avenues and approaches open up under such a situation. Combine their contempt for the rule of law, a GOP elite who seem more by the week to be at least partly in on this, what could go wrong??????

And the benefit is he continues to decimate the military, demoralize them, cut the tie with the public through air shows(and you can bet that this is going to be a permanent condition from here on out as a lot of air shows depend on some support from the military).

Once the infiltrators where able to weave their tangled web through key positions of government and finalizing it through a dumbed down electorate, it was at that moment that the good guys have lost control. Things will get really ugly from now on. Think post 1932 Germany. Events and actions quickened almost out of nowhere, orders from on high that were to be obeyed without question came down and left people confused for a brief time till the fear started to settle in.

How could we possibly have those brave, patriotic, dedicated, and professional young men and women out there showing off their incredible talent, skill, and ability — Talent, skill, and ability only possible through countless hours of hard work, dedication, and precision — They are everything their commander-in-chief is not. Jealously is an ugly thing, why would he want to be reminded or have American’s reminded that there are incredible American’s out their capable of such amazing feats when he can’t accomplish one promise he ran on. Now is not the time to remind American’s about “our” greatness...No, not now, not while unemployment is at 14.3% (real number), 47,772,108 American’s on food stamps, 16 trillion dollars of debt, and our present_dent is managing America’s decline (President Decline). Some young man or woman might have actually attended an air show and been witness to the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds greatness and considered the military as a possibility for the bleak future. Now, instead, they may just become one of the unemployed, food stamp takers. Great job ba’rock...of all the things you could cut...you picked cutting greatness — Loser.

Apparently, we can all live without 17 combat air units and 8 Navy ships deploying. If America gets attacked by terrorists or anybody else, don’t come on these message boards bitching about it. The Dept. of Education and HUD are fully funded, though, and they’re doing so much for the country.
