Sequester's Toll...

Obama's White House where the poor and middle class have no access but those with 500k do.

Yeah, kind of like the RMoneys, and the Bushies.

I guess if you have $50,000 laying around you get to hear first-hand what RMoney thinks about the 47%.

The Republican House did set aside money for tours. The White House couldn't find any. Who is better at prioritizing budgets?

Who's good at lying about the facts to start unnecessary, unpaid-for wars?

Which party is really good about obsessing over White House Tours, while not giving-a-sh*t about all the children who will be kicked off of Head Start, and lose their meal-suppliments and go hungry; and seniors cut off from Meals-On-Wheels...etc.

Go suck up some more Faux Kool-Aid...The "Tour" thing, as a talking-point, is starting to make you clowns look very stupid.

:Snooze

Not a thing, just the same old crap over and over again.


BTW

Why it's become clear that Obama's White House is open to the rich and closed to the poor
Once, only nobles were granted an audience with the King.

In America, we've prided ourselves on abandoning those privileges of class some 237 years ago, following that little uprising in the 13 colonies
These tours, most recently guided by volunteers though monitored by paid Secret Service staff, have been an American tradition since John and Abigail Adams, the first White House residents, personally hosted receptions for the public.

And their cancellation is an austerity measure that saves a pittance, while more frivolous taxpayer funding for items like the White House dog walker continues.

Meanwhile, noble Americans can buy time with the president for a suggested donation of $500,000 to his new campaign group, Organising for Action.

Yes, the announcement offering access to the president for cold, hard cash was made openly and with total transparency. But it was also made without shame.

Telegraph

I have not met or talked to a single person that has expressed any concern that they will be directly effected by this.

I have not met or talked to a single person that really seems to care about this.

I also have not met a single person that that does not understand that they money they are not spending, is money they will NOT have to take from us.

I have not met or talked to a single person that really seems to think that the world is going to fall apart due to this.

I have talked to many, many Americans who are in need to more of the resources they produce and are confident they would be better off if they allocated their resources vs. someone else far away.

The sequester is exactly what we need and people who are afraid that others will feel ok without massive govt support, but want them to keep being supported, are the only ones freaking out.

You would not even know about it if the media had not misinformed us about it. We are not a great nation if we cannot tighten our belt and be ok. This is a good test, if we implode because of the sequester, it will show how poorly designed our systems were and if we don't it will show how much we really would be ok without the govt involved in everything.

In the end though, the govt will get larger, the LJs will have their way and force you to comply and pay. They know better for you than you do...you are wrong and will spend your money wrong. They are right and will spend your money right. They want your money, they have other uses for it that are better than yours and they have millions of people with guns to enforce the takings. In the end that is all that really matters, they have the guns and they make the laws, they we know which way money will flow.

Workers Lose Jobs As Pink Slips Go Out Due To Sequestration

workers -- including some in the private sector -- are losing their jobs altogether, underscoring just how much daily life for many people is tied to a functioning government. Some examples:

* On Monday, 250 workers at the Hanford Nuclear Reservation in Washington state received pink slips, while another 2,500 others found out they're facing furloughs. Approximately 9,000 people work at the nation's most contaminated nuclear site, and the Associated Press reports that "cleanup is likely to be slowed" because of the budget cuts.

* Continental Maritime, a contractor that repairs U.S. Navy ships, expects to lay off 185 employees, effective April 12. Other contractors have issued conditional layoff notices -- meaning that jobs are safe if Congress restores some funding to the Defense Department -- to thousands of employees.

* Four-hundred eighteen (418) contract workers tied to the Tobyhanna Army Depot in Pennsylvania are losing their jobs due to sequestration. Two-hundred sixteen people will be dismissed on April 15 and 107 on April 30, the Morning Call of Allentown, Pa., reports. The paper noted that the Tobyhanna Army Depot is losing 35 percent -- $309 million -- of its government funding through the end of the fiscal year, and that more than 5,100 of the people who work there are being forced to take 22 furlough days.

* At least eight municipal employees in Monterey County, Calif., are losing their jobs as a result of a decrease in the number of military contracts.

* In early March, 23 people who work with the parks and recreation and maintenance departments in Tooele County, Utah, were laid off in order to grapple with the federal budget cuts. "I have four kids. This is my livelihood,” said Scott Chance, a 12-year employee. "It pays my health insurance. It gives me my house."

* Engineering Services Network is an engineering and technology company and one of the top Latino-owned companies in Virginia. President and CEO Raymond Lopez Jr. told NBC Latino that he has "lost about 20 employees through sequestration."

* The Red River Army Depot in Texarkana, Texas, announced in February that it was cutting 414 jobs -- about 10 percent of its workforce. "I don't know how we're going to make it," Raymond Wyrick, whose last day was scheduled to be March 9, told CNN Money.

Gee, I wonder which party these "regular folks" who have been put out of a job by the TeaBagger obstructionism will blame?...Hmmmmmm Oh, well, it's just a few hundred here and there... Nothing to see here folks...move along...

Gee, I could almost feel sorry for a few lost jobs at Magpul...(except theirs is self-inflicted, and has nothing to do with sequestration...)

Breaking News: Presidential Limo breaks down due to sequestration!

I hope BHO didn't miss a tee time. :driving:

:faint:
"The White House dismissed the alien bodyguards as too costly in this era of budgetary austerity. “I can’t confirm the claims made in this video, but any alleged program to guard the president with aliens or robots would likely have to be scaled back or eliminated in the sequester,” Caitlin Hayden, the chief spokeswoman for the National Security Council, e-mails Danger Room. “I’d refer you to the Secret Service or Area 51 for more details.” We are journalistically obligated to observe that this isn’t a flat denial."
