White House caught lying about sequestration

Quote from adams135 : White House caught lying ... why is that news. That's just BAU for this Admin..

Every administration in the history of the nation has lied at some point. It's intellectually dishonest to try and make it seem like this one is somehow worse. They're all liars. It's how politics works.

Yes .. they all are self serving liars .. and YES this Administration is the worse .. to the point the last several administrations aren't even in the same league.

Chicago Politics at it's finest. A new low for our once great nation.

Really? The Bush Administrations dishonesty about Iraq lead us to a war which caused the deaths of thousands of american soldiers. Name 1 thing Obama did that you consider worse than that?

Quote from Krazen1211 : That money comes from the rest of us

Quote from Radeck : If EVERYBODY with a job was able to adjust to a 2% cut, I find it arrogant, disgusting, and insulting to the rest of us to say that if the feds faces a 2% cut the economy will turn to a recession.

IF everything above is TRUE, Obama is indeed fear-mongering, IMO.

Quote from bridgeburner : The Bush Administrations lead us to a war which caused the deaths of FIVE Thousand American soldiers.

And over a MILLION IRAQI civilian DEATHS.

Quote from WindySummer : And over a MILLION IRAQI civilian DEATHS.

Thank you. Wasn't totally sure about the number.

It's interesting how the Republicans seem positively terrified at the prospect that people will come to realize that government is actually a good thing.

Quote from Krazen1211 : Washington DC is the wealthiest per capita metro in the United States. That money comes from the rest of us. If he wants to bank his argument on some highly paid bureaucrats losing a bit of income, so be it.

And we really appreciate it. People from other parts of the country should visit sometime to should see all of the McMansions we build around here and BMW /M3s and /M5s, etc., we buy with it. It's been a sweet gravy train for many years.

People would sh*t if they knew how much of the money that they think is going to education, the environment, defense, et. al., actually goes directly in the pockets of bureaucrats and contractors around here and how little productive benefit there is to those areas as a result of most of the "work" done.

Got hijacked by neocons. Starting to come back to small-government principles somewhat since then.

Quote from Rebound : Personally, I have a severely autistic child, and I am very afraid of what might happen if the funding cuts stop her from going to her special school. On a personal level, the "sequester" is very real and worrisome to me.

You make six figures and still need government/taxpayer funding? Lower taxes would help you keep more of the money you earn so you can spend it on your family as you see fit.

Yep. Recession? What recession?

Sadly, I don't really expect that anything is going to change much as far as all of that goes even with the sequester.

It's been more than a few years since I was still feeding at the Federal trough before moving on to completely private-sector work, but I still appreciate you all paying for a big portion of my houses, nice cars, several boats, etc. Even though the first agency where I worked for 5 years ended up doing virtually nothing at all with respect to its intended mission. The largely circle-jerk contracts that I and lots of others worked on (most of which consisted of simply hiring about 3 to 5 people to do unnecessary work that a Fed was supposed to be doing themselves), and the way too expensive consulting fees that we charged EPA, DOD, DOE, etc., etc., were worth every penny of the millions that you spent. Really. Promise. lol

Your tax dollars at work. *sigh*

Now we all know that the next 3 1/2 years of Economic shortfalls will be blamed on his own sequester cuts. Which he will blame on Republicans. The MSM will eat it up...

Faux News will chit it out tho

the only lie here is that Bush lied. Unless, of course, you are also claiming that the UN lied, the UK lied, France lied, Germany lied, and Russia lied since they all reached the same conclusions about Iraq.

Do I need to link again to the quotes of Hillary, Bill Clinton, Gore, Kerry, and numerous other democrats, also saying Saddam and Iraq are a threat?

now all of a sudden all of that is swept under the rug, and only Bush is left being the liar?

Sorry...that slanderous lie and outright propaganda might work in the lefty bubble and lefty blogs that all you circle-jerk group-think Bush haters surround yourselves with....but fantasy and selective rewriting of history does not equal reality.
