Sequestration?

Maxine Waters says 140 million people will lose their jobs! Does she even know how many Americans are still employed in the Obamarecession?

I thought it was 170 million.

I too think that Waters said it was more like 170 million jobs will be lost due to the sequester.

Regardless, it's a ridiculous claim. The total number employed in the US is closer to 143 million.

EVERYONE is going to lose their job!! The sky is falling!!

I think the basic problem is that some pols just don't have a basic understanding of numbers. Millions, billions, whats the difference. Pelosi made a similar mistake although I do not remember the context.

Flyovers for sporting events are now cutback too! Oh no. Once again, no talk about making Eric Holder fly commercial instead of a Lear jet, let cut back on the showy stuff.
In Great Britain, the Prime Minister flies commercial, but in America, the largest number of planes in the US Air Force are commercial aircraft used to fly around bureaucrats and politicians. There is just so much waste to be trimmed.

The sun is shining today.....

The president indicated it was going to be apocalypse.

Mind Boggling how he gets away with this crap.

Petty politics.....seen it a multitude of times.....miriad of times......massin
ve number of times.....ehhhhhhh....point made ? The pols who eat our blessings, trot out ........teachers, children, police, firepersons, librarians, the down troden,......etc., etc., etc...........and play the sheep Americans for more unearned political chickens-in-pots. The feds can move billions from-to accounts with servers and keyboards.......there is no crisis.....only manipulation. Lets do this monthly for a year......that is progress.

Close the borders, cut cops, courts and stop the madness of MJ law (started finally), terminate Medicade and require again the taxpayers to pay into medical FIRST (as many did/do) there all fixed. Was that not so simple......but the Socalists do not get it........yet.
