Did you miss the House Republicans offering to pass a bill to give Obama the personal power to change the "cuts" (which actually means slightly less GROWTH by the way) to make them more "smart" (as Obama kept saying the last couple of weeks needed to be done)
The President instantly replied that he would VETO that bill!
He is scared SHITLESS to touch anything that will "cut" ANY part of what the Feds spend! He doesn't want to piss off anybody that is getting that money. And neither does the Democrat Senate.
This whole thing is a bunch of political horseshit. The "sequester" doesn't even "cut" anything (we will still spend MORE this year than last year). It only decreases the rate of GROWTH.
I don't know what's gonna end up happening within the next couple of decades...but sooner or later EVERYTHING is gonna really be CUT. Social Security, medicare, all of it.
Because sooner or later the U.S. isn't gonna be able to borrow any more money. It's inevitable. And then we will start printing useless money (hell, we are already well onto that path).
And that doesn't even count the cost of ObamaCare to our country.
The CBO released new numbers on ObamaCare recently...but of course the media didn't really report it very much. Check this out:

Didn't Obama claim this wasn't gonna cost us anything and was actually gonna SAVE us all kind of money?
