I want to start this blog out by congratulating so many Americans for using their common sense over this past month. In that time the Sequester became law and another round of Democrat fueled and Obama led hysteria was unleashed. But, this time most of America, and I’m happy to say even some people who voted for Obama looked at what happened, compared it to what Obama and his minions were saying and then said to themselves “Wait a minute. This is bullshit”
So what did happen? Well, back in 2011, Congress was tasked with raising the debt ceiling (credit card limit) of the Federal government. Republicans wanted some spending cuts; otherwise they said it would be irresponsible to keep spending at the rate they were. Democrats said, ‘Hell, No! We can print or borrow the money”. Obama came to the rescue with sequestration. This was a proposal that if a Super Committee of the same congressman who couldn’t agree now, but could magically agree at a later date, then across the board cuts of about 2.3% would occur. As expected no one gave an inch. They were, however, able to put the date of the sequester off until March 1st, this year.
Then the world did not end last December and March 1st actually happened. So Obama had to sign the sequester order which (except for all of the entitlement programs (Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare) forced across the board cuts of not 2.3%, but about half that. Why? That's because the fiscal year is already about half over.
Then the doom and gloom started.
Even before Sequester kicked in, the Department of Homeland Security released 2000 illegal immigrants saying they did not have the money to hold them.
The Sequester had not hit yet.
America called “Bullshit”
Obama gets up and makes one of his thousands of road speeches, this time telling Americans how devastating these cuts (to the rate of spending growth. We will actually spend more money this year than the year before) will be to the economy and people everywhere.
America looked at their paycheck and said “I just had to take a 2% pay cut. The kids are getting fed. I’m still paying the bills. I didn’t like it, but the world didn’t end”
America called “Bullshit”
I can hear the liberals all yelling. We call “Bullshit” Obama was just given a mandate by the people with his reelection. The people want this spending!’
