Sequestration

According to the President, if sequestration takes effect we will be facing armaggedon. Hundreds of thousands of jobs will be lost. Major cuts to Head Start. Cuts for the elderly, first responders, teachers, and on and on. The sky will fall says the fear monger in chief. Imagine all this will happen with an $85 billion cut from $1.036 trillion in "discretionary" spending.

Not being able to blame George Bush, the president has resorted to once again blaming the evil Republicans BUT he neglects to tell everyone that this is his plan. He also neglects to tell everyone that he said that he would veto any effort by lawmakers to repeal a requirement for $1 trillion in automatic spending cuts to be triggered after the Super Committee failed to agree on terms to save the country $1.2 trillion over a 10-year span.

Imagine all the fear mongering and name calling are continuing under tha President who told us that he would be the great uniter. Listening to him I wonder how all this negativity is working for him, and us?
