Does anyone buy into Obama's BS on this? He is claiming that the entire economy will collapse if 80 billion is cut from the federal spending.
The congress just spent almost that much on Sandy relief.
This is just more scare tactic rhetoric by the marxist kenyan.
If the sequester kicks in, no one will feel it--no one. If anyone thinks there is not 10% fat in the DOD budget then I have some underwater investment property to sell you in the swamp.
Certain sectors of the economy and certain areas of the country will be hit very hard.
You mean like the parasite sector? Actually, not even that will be "hit hard." $80 is 2% of the budget. Anyone who claims that's a "big hit" is simply a hosebag.
I think there is plenty in the defense budget that can be cut seeing as how it's at least 50% higher now than it was before 9-11. But the sequester wasn't planned out in a methodical way since it was never seriously believed that it would happen. It was meant to be something that would be so unacceptable as to force the Democrats and the Republicans to reach a consensus compromise. From what I can see, it's not working out that way.
I think we can cut the EPA back to where it was before Obama was elected. That will net $80 billion right there.
