Well - had Obama and the gang that gave us sequestration been honest with us, then yes - that would be the truth.

But just like everything else spewing forth out of DC, that too is a lie. You see - the power to make the so-called "cuts" was put in the hands of the President. So - while the total federal spending might have seen a cut to the TOTAL growth - he has the power to decide where anything is cut. The military, who already saw an actual budget cut, is now seeing massive cuts - REAL cuts, not just cuts to budget growth. While Food Stamps and other somehow labeled "mandatory spending" have seen no cuts - not even to the GROWTH of their spending, the one Constitutional area of spending - our national defense, is actually being cut - and cut hard. The military has instituted serious RIF (Reduction In Force) measures - good men are being pushed out the doors because of the dramatic cuts.

So - were the sequestration applied across the board - then no agency of the government would see an actual budget cut - only a reduction to the growth. But that is not how it has actually played out - thanks to the gang and the jerk-in-chief -

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.
