Now they are wring their hands over same.

It's like trying to nail jelly to a tree.
I noticed you provided a link to a thread I started. Thank you. I like to feel important.

Just so you know I'm not a right winger.

Nor was I praising the layoffs. I was just pointing out that government spending was gonna increase spending during these cuts. lols. Only in D.C. could an increase be considered a cut.

If iy were up to me though, I would cut federal spending 80-90% and fire almost the entire federal workforce. But that's just me.

Some people think that is crazy. I say it's crazy to keep giving money to people who think a spending increase is a spending cut.

Or we can say the money went to Egypt......Muslim Brotherhood was looking for a way to make a living also...

American military are being cut off from college financial aid while Obama ensures the illegals that they will be given it.

And the large and growing welfare class is not facing any kind of cuts. Since Obama wants free contraception, why not require those on welfare to use it?
And not help his brother's in need......silly Americans they actually think this President cares about moving America forward in a positive manner. Getting out of debt is the farthest thing from what this President wants to accomplish.

Why would a liberal Obama admin support a conservative government? It makes no sense and shows the limits of a typical Tea Partiers world knowledge. Muslim brotherhood = conservatives of Egypt = GOP, and yes they were democratically elected. They have more in common with Republicans than Democrats.

These acts reek of pettiness from a thin-skinned demagogue and a very sore loser; he doesn't realize how childish he looks by doing this.

As ABC News reported, closing the WH to tours will save a whopping $18K per week.

Meanwhile the EPA, one of Obama's best job-killing entities, just handed out $141,000 to fund a study on swine manure---by the Chinese!!!!

And of course the thought of saving $27,000,000 by cancelling funding for pottery classes in MOROCCO horrifies and terrifies this imbecile to no end.

And of course, saving a whopping $277,000, the combined salaries of three White House calligraphers would bring on levels of Armageddon not seen since the Bruce Willis/Michael Bay movie of the same name according to President Apocalypse.

Idling snowplows in Yellowstone due to this sequesters is yet another preposterous move by this lame-brained prophet of doom.

Have we ever had another President this dense who doesn't know crap about PR while simultaneously refusing to realize how silly and idiotic he looks?

You mean like how when Dubya was handed a surplus he chose to blow it on tax cuts and wars instead of paying down the debt?

Please never take a job as any type of political analyst.

Yeah if you want to cut federal spending by 90% you are so far right that you are probably an anarchist.

I know its hard to believe for Republicans engulfed in the FoxNews bubble but the Muslim brotherhood, like the Taliban, are the GOP/conservative equivalents of their respective countries..

Budget cuts lead to fewer jobs. We need less government employees, now you're going to complain about it?
