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 -
Grounding them is fine, they are old news. Let’s have a Drone fly over.
