If Washington can’t handle these miniscule cuts, how is anyone to expect they can ever deal with actually balancing the annual budget? The sequestration cuts are a drop in the bucket of the actual cuts we ultimately need, and yet our politicians on both sides of the aisle don’t even have the testicular fortitude for these tiny cuts.

We are like a contestant on “The Biggest Loser”. We’ve gorged ourselves on government spending until we are too fat to get out of the house, and now we have to go on a massive diet and exercise binge to fix it. Guess what… it’s going to take some pain to get it done along with some serious blood, sweat, and tears.

What we need is a military coup. A military chicken coup, that is. And lock all the Dems inside it.

Why is the GOP not plastering examples like this out there.. they need to ridicule and make the dems a complete and utter laughing stock.

Maybe because they’re part of the graft.

These aren’t even cuts, these are simply reductions in increased spending. That’s how crazy this whole thing is, and more proof that the establishment “conservatives” are almost as horrible as the dims. Our government is a freaking monolithic beast and it will do nothing but increase in size and power until it collapses upon its own weight, or is physically taken out – or a combination of the two.

To hear these cuts in spending the sequester would make in detail I’m wondering why they just don’t go ahead with the sequester.
They are only going to stop the cuts for 6-12 months? Why? So Obama can demagogue on this again in a year?

it was comical listing to the house dems deriding how horrible the across the board .2% spending cut would mean.. said it is taking a chainsaw to the budget…

If I have a $10,000 monthly budget, and I’m forced to reduce it by .2%, I’m sure I can figure out how to make it without that $20.
