“For all of Obama’s dire warnings, otherwise known as lies, the Sequester did not represent an actual cut in spending, but merely a reduction in future increases.
It’s like a 200-pound person going on a diet, but not one that would take him down to 180, but merely up to 219 instead of 220.”
Yes, that’s true, but will the media ever explain it to the public that way?
I’m not so sure. It seems our military/defense took some pretty good hits.
Nah, just allow the military to retire the vehicles that need it and quit forcing them to spend on programs they don’t want and the Services will be fine.
That would be nice but that’s not happening. It’s what IS happening that bothers me. http://usnews.nbcnews.com/_news/2013/02/06/16873226-navy-to-pull-aircraft-carrier-from-persian-gulf-over-budget-worries?lite I live in Realville.
