Remember, it wasn’t long ago that the FAA decided the way to fix the problem of lone controllers falling asleep during slow shifts at nights was to assign a second controller. That way, presumably, they either could keep each other awake or take turns sleeping.

In most of these tales of woe the department facing “draconian” cuts has received substantial budget increases in recent years. According to the CBO, the actual cuts in fiscal 2013 amount to $45B, or 2.5% for civilian discretionary spending and 4% for military. It’s hard to believe Western Civilization is in jeopardy.

Well, thats what the public employee unions and their puppets in government wanted you to believe.

But read the following. You won’t ever see it in the Press Democrat.

Uh, people who profess a hate of government are at least able to function in the private sector.

Now, those who cannot survive without a government job… those are the ones we really need to worry about.

Look at the Mayor of Bell, CA, who is right now awaiting the conclusion of his criminal trial. He didn’t even graduate from high school nor is able to read, per his criminal defense attorney.

A classic example of government “expertise.”

A shame when the sense of entitlement overwhelms all interest in the public good.

We the people have been forgotten by the Republicans. We are good for votes only and they will lie, cheat, take away voting rights to get those votes.

What’s next when Sequester sets in? Will the lane lines on the freeways disappear causing “lane-change chaos?” Fire hydrants will stop working and conflagration will ensue? Chickens and cows will stop producing throwing the whole dairy industry into panic?

There’s less funds being cut out of the budget than what was gained by the tax increases given in to just 3 months ago. The world will continue to spin and puppies will lick children.

And it’s a good start on reigning in this out of control spending by the Reid/Pelosi crowd.

O.K. everybody, Google “Washington Monument Syndrome” and you’ll see what’s happening here.

The Wikipedia account explains everything nicely.

Yep.

Those in the know say that the State of California will be in fiscal chaos once again… in roughly five months.

Aren’t you glad ? LOL

Yes, that is a STATE problem. The Feds finances are just as fouled up.

Sequestor will not cut services. It will slow the wild spending. Obama thought it was a great idea when he signed the bill. Now his runs around yelling about the dire consequences of sequestor and how just raising taxes on the rich will solve all. The rich can’t solve this political problem for Obama.

Only Obama can solve this problem by meeting with Congress and coming up with a solution. But he is too stubborn and believes in bringing this country down to size.
