sequestration

[CosmicCowboy]

Really starting to see it at the bases around here. They just gutted their maintenance budgets and cancelled their credit cards. They can't even pay for work they had already authorized.

The government doesn't create jobs.

Repugs swore cutting by such a tiny amount of total govt spending would have NO EFFECT

Repugs want America as fucked up as possible under Barry in preparation for 2016. They will blame Barry + Dems for the fuck up.

80 Billion in a 3.4 trillion budget isn't that much. My guess is that the cuts are being selectively applied to have the most targeted painful impact. I wonder if blue states are getting their maintenance budgets cut?

the Repug-voted law says across the board (except for ATC because that would have affected the plutocratic Congressman flying around the country)

I know all kinds of poor and unemployed people are having their benefits cut, etc, etc.

Imagine the guaranteed disaster if Bishop Gecko/Ryan's twice-House-passed severe austerity budget had been implemented.

sequestration will encourage the Repugs that they can do real damage to the 99% by austerity.

:lmao

Your selective memory is hilarious. Executive Branch had the option of picking where the cuts were implemented and passed.
