Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt, not a jot of truth anywhere!

In addition to all the discussion around the sequestration , including all the lies being promulgated by the progressives about reduction in salaries and hours of first-responders, air traffic controllers, TSA personnel, teachers, etc., etc., there are a few topics that you can use in your discussions with the mind-less Obamabots (I now that maybe a waste of time, but if each of us can turn just one drone....).

1. Even with the proposed cuts, the administration will still spend $15 billion more than last year. So perhaps we should not use the words cuts, instead call them reductions in increases.
2. The administration is the branch of government that has jurisdiction over HOW the appropriations are spent. So instead of cutting back on military equipment, how about we get rid of some of the military bands? Rather less drums than drums of fuel.
3. Most of the groups that the left mention will have reduced hours and/or pay are not even paid by the federal government, e.g. teachers, firefighters and police, amongst others.
4. The GOP has passed at least two bills to resolve the sequestration problem, they should be shouting from every rooftop, in every op-editorial, on every radio or TV interview that those bills stalled in the Senate under the leadership of DemocRAT Dingy Harry Reid.
5. Finally, perhaps the most damning number of all. The proposed reductions in planned expenditure equate to about 2% or less of the total annual budget. Did not every working American receive a 2% pay cut at the beginning of this year due the lapse of the payroll tax cut. If we can learn to live with 2% less (for some, even more than that), why can the bums in Washington not adjust their spending in the same way? 

While much of the blame for this profligate spending rests with DemocRATS, the GOP also have played their part. Now is their time to redeem themselves. I am disappointed that the GOP does not bring up this 2% point and demand that the administration take a responsible approach to making the necessary spending slowdowns. Instead they sheepishly allow the progressives to make them in the most damaging way possible, so that the progressives can extract the maximum political benefit.

How can the GOP force the administration to behave in a way that supports the country, rather than destroying the country? They still hold control of the purse-strings, since appropriations originate in the House. So they should go to Obama, either privately or preferably publicly, and tell him that unless citizen friendly reductions are instituted, all future appropriations, including continuing resolution bills will be blocked. If we have to shut down the government, let the DemocRATS choose to do so. And let us the alternate news media will make sure that as many people as possible know the true reason for the mess that ensues.
