The manufactured crisis of sequester

........"
As in: Batten down the hatches — the sequester will cut $85 billion from this year’s $3.6 trillion budget! Or: Head for the storm cellar — spending will be cut 2.3 percent! Or: Washington chain-saw massacre — we must scrape by on 97.7 percent of current spending! Or: Chaos is coming because the sequester will cut a sum $25 billion larger than was just shoveled out the door (supposedly, but not actually) for victims of Hurricane Sandy! Or: Heaven forfend, the sequester will cut 47 percent as much as was spent on the AIG bailout! Or: Famine, pestilence and locusts will come when the sequester causes federal spending over 10 years to plummet from $46 trillion all the way down to $44.8 trillion! Or: Grass will grow in the streets of America’s cities if the domestic agencies whose budgets have increased 17 percent under President Obama must endure a 5 percent cut!


The sequester has forced liberals to clarify their conviction that whatever the government’s size is at any moment, it is the bare minimum necessary to forestall intolerable suffering.

Mr. Obama crying wolf? Who would have guessed?

Listening to the Obama spin machine on the morning talk shows, the only thing you are going to hear this week from the Whitehouse and the Dems is " it's the Republicans fault".

You won't be able to visit any National Parks, flights will be canceled or delayed, no meat, poultry, or fresh fruit and vegetables, Section 8 housing will be shut down and folks will be thrown into the streets. It will be worse than Katrina on a national basis.

We are all going to die !!!!! Well except for those super wealthy republicans.
