Sequester will be harmful on purpose

No word yet on my computer.  I suspect it was tampered with by the government.  The computer though had nothing to do with missing yesterday's post.  That was due to car problems.  So yeah, the government not only infected my computer, it wrecked the wife's car.  These nefarious bastards will stop at nothing to stifle freedom's voice.

I remain amazed that the government cannot cope with a measly 2.3% budget cut.  So what, pray tell, is the government going to do when real cuts are made to balance the budget?  I was reminded over the weekend that all working Americans took a 2% cut to their own budgets.  The 2% payroll tax came back at the first of the year.  Everyone started kicking in 2% for Social Security.  Now I did not hear about American households "shutting down" due the government withholding.  I did not hear about them canceling dinner to make ends meet.  I did not hear about them cutting one essential service for their families.

Now the government is facing pretty much the same 2%.  According to one news story after another, the government will not be able to continue a single service it provides. 

Keep in mind the "2.3% cut" isn't even a cut.  It is a reduction in growth.  The government will spend 15 billion more in 2013 than 2012.  The government will still spend over 3 TRILLION dollars.  So you have a 3 TRILLION + dollar budget that is increases spending 15 BILLION over last year's budget and yet the entire federal government is going to collapse over 2.3%.

It seems to me, everyone in Washington D.C. is an incompetent boob. 

Now LB says teachers will be cut.  Why is the federal government hiring teachers?  TSA, which stands for thousands standing around, won't be able to keep up with a 2% cut.  So lines will last for four hours or more.  Fire every damn one of them and hire a private firm to run security.  It goes on and on.  Liberal's real worry with the sequester though is that, in spite of the reported across the board crash, is that nothing really happens when the sequester hits. 

Had the government hired people with brains and we elected true public servants instead of creeps more interested in lining their pockets than serving the American people - first we wouldn't be in this mess - but we could certainly take a 2.3% cut without all of the fear mongering.  But hey, it is what it is.

Conspiracy theory #4-13
The government will actually make things worse than they need be in order to place a millstone around the neck of the Republicans.

As I am still in the private sector and let me say that Obamacare will not be ready come Oct. I know it is a big surprise. It is now up to 15,000 pages and growing. Of course it raises more questions. Those often remain unanswered and/or more confusing. The sequestor is mere child's play with what is about to happen with the nations healthcare. The Griffin.
