First it was the "FISCAL CLIFF", now it's the "SEQUESTER", how many more fucking deadline are they going to thrownat us this year?
I think the politicans really like this because they look like hard working knights on white horses when the approve a program at the last minute, work past 5:00 and save the country from destruction

Few major news outlets bother to mention that the Sequester was Obama's plan to get the debt ceiling raised right before the Presidential election without any new taxes or spending cuts.
His 'super committee' was supposed to propose the grand bargain that would replace it. Of course they failed and we faced the fiscal cliff 1-1-13 when he bullied Congress to extend again until March 1st with the same scare tactics. Now he's blaming Congress for the next deadline. Congress who has submitted alternative plans of cuts and the elimination of tax loopholes that will never see the light of day in the Senate. The only plan submitted by the left is higher taxes. As stated by Pelosi "We don't have a budget problem". They don't seem to accept ANY cuts on funding only more taxes.
Unfortunately, the majority of the population don't know this and blame Congress anyway.
Dam media.

I am going to go along with Jake. Shut the fucking government down. Let it come to a complete stand still. Then they can reboot, fire, cut back, lay off, get rid of, all the unneeded employee's, buildings, vehicles, and so on. Come back with a government half the size it now. We don't need all these leaches on the payroll.

Parnell was crying the other day that the DOD might have to furlough 800,000 employees off of work one day a week if the sequester take place on March 1.. My question is do we need 800,000 civilians working for the DOD. How about firing 40% of them and leaving the DOD with 480,000 civilians working that are actually doing something to earn the check. The other 320,000 most likely did nothing any how.
