Obama's "Sequester" speech . . . . remember that???? What a piece of liberal progressive democrat demagoguery!

Sequester Government

March 28, 2013 by Donald Devine

`What happened to the crisis predicted by President Barack Obama as a result of the $85 billion sequester cut in government spending? Well, it turns out there was none: the food inspectors, the Yellowstone rangers, the border police, the military tuition granters, the Coast Guard, the airport screeners—none of them were laid off. The Pentagon has “delayed” the furlough notices planned for 800,000 civilian defense workers, probably forever. The air controllers are still threatening furloughs and consequent delays, but it will not happen. The president did not even carry out his threat to eliminate the Easter Egg Roll or the White House tours.

However, The Standard & Poors 500 stock average went up 9 percent, and the economy added 356,000 jobs since the sequester passed. Some crisis! A few more sequesters and the economy might even rise from its slumber. But do not count on it. The president promises no more domestic spending cuts.

What, you noticed there really were no cuts as a result of the sequester? The mainstream media kept it pretty quiet, but last year’s Washington spending was $3,538 billion; and after the sequester’s supposed cuts, the government will spend $3,553 billion. A little subtraction shows that is a $15 billion increase in government spending. Rack it up to creative accounting. Only in Washington D.C. would spending $15 billion more than in the previous year be called a cut.

The bad news is that the sequester will be the end of even paper cuts for the next four years. Even the Republican budget is not about real spending reductions. The Paul Ryan plan has no chance of passing the Senate, much less surviving a veto. It ignores the biggest program (Social Security) and defers reform in the program that is most in debt (Medicare). Most of the Ryan cuts come from the elimination of Obamacare, which will not happen as long as Obama is president. The Ryan budget is important to make a political case, but it is not serious cost cutting. His caution actually makes political sense. The entitlements are the Democrats’ programs, and it is their responsibility to reform them.

The whole idea of the bureaucracy not being able to handle a five to eight percent “cut” is ludicrous. During the first Reagan year, we cut domestic discretionary spending ten percent in real money with no one noticing a thing. While the White House originally claimed cuts had to be made in the relatively small “projects, program, and activities” categories, the law actually required cuts in Budget Authority categories. There are 1,200 of these with very roughly 1,500 employees each. Any government manager who cannot assign the critical people to the essential work should be fired for incompetence, especially with all of the contracts, supplies, training, and perks that can be delayed first. His boss should be fired too, right up to the very top.

We might as well stop abusing George Washington’s name and re-label the nation’s capital “Sequester D.C.” One dictionary definition of sequester is to “withdraw into retirement.” With the coming entitlement financial explosion in the aging programs, retirement will be the only thing the national government will be able to afford. That is not all bad news. While it may be difficult to run national defense on fumes, most domestic federal programs can be run better at the state or local level or privately anyway.

Let’s call it federalism by the back door. As the government keeps spending more and more on the elderly, the abusive welfare state regulatory programs must be paired back. All national government taxation will be sequestered to retirement spending, and the Federal Government will become the Department of Gerontology. All societal energy will be local and private. Back in the old days before Obama, progressive intellectuals realized this and were for entitlement reforms to save their regulatory state. All conservatives need to do now is sit back and watch the fun as progressives starve their own creation.

`I know . . . . lets have a "SEQUESTER" once a year! We'll call it . . . . LOGICAL.

Thanks Obama.

Obama Just Doesn’t Get It

March 29, 2013 By Michael Oberndorf

The latest waste of taxpayer money, following close on the heels of the over-hyped sequester, has been Obama’s so-called Charm Tour. It just hasn’t gotten through his thick skull and massive, disorder-driven ego that the American people are not buying his lies like they used to. They’re starting to connect the man to his mindless Marxism and their economic and social pain to his policies. They are finally realizing that the Fraud-in-the-White House is just that.

B. Hussein, however, insulated from the nastiness of reality as he is by the Ministry of Propaganda, tried to take the tour overseas. The result, as with all his incredibly inept and incompetent attempts at diplomacy, statesmanship, and foreign policy, has been another embarrassing failure. This one, though, has been worse than most.

In spite of his pandering to Muslims (especially those with radical, fundamentalist views), it’s coming out very publicly that they hate him even more than they did George Bush. He’s been trying to play both sides against the middle, straddling the fence; and it apparently has PO’d a whole lot of Muslims all over the globe. The demonstrations by “Palestinians” against him were far worse than the Israeli ones, and the Israelis left no doubt of their dislike for him and his duplicity. The “peaceful Palestinians” who B. Hussein, Hillary Clinton, and the Democrat Party of Latter Day Marxism constantly kiss up to showed their respect for Obozo and his pandering by violating the phony ceasefire and showering Israel with rockets while the Messiah was only a few miles away.

Iran, too, has stepped up its saber-rattling; and it appears that it’s just a matter of time – and not much of that – before a major confrontation occurs. Four years of dithering by Obama and the State of Disarray Department under Hillary – and now the criminal/traitor John Kerry – have fueled the delusions of Iran’s leaders that they are all-powerful, unstoppable, and the rightful rulers of the coming global Caliphate. Obama’s brilliant, ever-so-well-crafted answer to the threat of the start of World War III is “Oh, well, if someone wants to actually take action to stop them, wink, wink, nod, nod, we won’t interfere.” Amazing what an education at Columbia and Harvard will do for you.

Meanwhile, in the Far Out Far East, North Korea, led by the second runner-up in a Pillsbury Dough Boy look-alike contest, has called off the ceasefire that ended the Korean War sixty years ago. Kim Jong Un, a second generation wacko, feels threatened by our Nobel Peace Prize “winning” Commander-in-Chief and has mobilized his army and is threatening to launch nukes at us. This motivated our Department of Surrender to make plans to move missile defenses that were originally intended to protect NATO allies Poland and Czechoslovakia from attacks from Iran to Alaska, to add to our protection against attacks from Asia. Asia, for those educated in government schools, is also where China is. Will the Chinese feel threatened, too?

The Smartest Man in the Room just can’t figure out why the Russians don’t like him, since he unilaterally committed to reducing our nuclear arsenal, reneged on our promise to provide the missile defenses mentioned earlier (after the Russians objected), and he assured Putin that he would sell us out even more after he was re-elected. Russia and China have been mending fences, doing the “reset” to their relationship that Obozo and Hillary botched so completely. He just can’t get his skinny arms around the idea that they are turning their backs on a fellow Marxist. He thinks that if he just bends over a little further, surely they will all see him for the Greatest World Leader that he is certain he is.

A few points to consider: 1) Muslims hate, and are obligated by the writings of Mohamed to kill, apostate Muslims such as B. Hussein. He can praise Islam to the skies and kiss their butts ‘til his lips are bruised; but until he returns to the practice of it, he is the Enemy. 2) To the genuine Marxists in Russia and China, American Marxists are cheap imitations, Stalin’s “useful idiots.” As for the Russians, it’s well known that Russians are exceptionally racist, particularly regarding blacks. Ask any African who studied in Russia. Obama is black and will never be seen by Russians, especially lower-class Slavic policemen like Putin, as anything but inferior. 3) In the 1906s, American Marxists were terrified that black people would realize that their interests are the same as working whites. That is beginning to happen more and more, and an exodus from the Democrat Plantation is gaining momentum.

Obama’s answer? Pretend none of it is happening and spend more of the taxpayers’ money on lavish vacations, parties, and world humiliation tours. Let them eat cake…
