Federal budget spending is at 3.8 trillion. We can't cut 84 billion and not put the nation into some type of crisis? Think about it.

Every politician probably has his or her pet project that they don't want to see cut. But Obama has to make the tough choices. The GOP offered to give him full authority on what to cut and he doesn't want it. He can't make the tough decisions. Obama is the worst president we've ever had, the worst leader we've ever had, the most devisive president we've ever had, and the most egotistical president we've ever had. We pay him to take our money and freedoms.

I did. Of course, in your mind, we could cut the government in hafl and not have any economic problems so I can understand how you couldn't notice the "crisis".

It never seems to cross a statist's mind that if cutting spending by such a small percentage creates such a crisis that maybe we have too many people dependent upon that spending. Just how many people should be making a living doing government work? What happens when more people make their livings on government payrolls than private payrolls? You do know that we are getting very close to that now?

I don't advocate austerity. I advocate common sense entitlement reform and and across the board cuts in EVERY governmental structure starting with simply waste and redundancy. Senator Tom Coburn has outlined repeatedly in his writings where much of these cuts can come from. We have to start somewhere and make a damn long term plan. Sadly it seems that things like the sequester are the ONLY way to make cuts. Both gang leadership is determined to protect their boondoggles.

Two percent. Two percent would launch us into crisis?

Really?

So it seems. Evidently we have bigger problems than we really knew in regard to just how dependent America is on the Federal government.

Robert, consider this.........You just had a 2% cut to your wages in the form of the SS reduction expiring. Now I'm sure you didn't like that 2% cut, but you know - I doubt you're now in crisis.

If you can absorb a 2% cut without the sky falling, you don't think your government should be able to do the same???? Really???

It's just all posturing for political gain........just a big lie. But then, that's largely how we have allowed our elected representatives to behave without penalty.........

Unfortunately, we are only getting what we deserve........Dog Crap.

Since this POTUS has been in power....I have taken a 30% pay cut due to his crappy economy. I still pay my bills on time. I still do most of the things I did before. I just stopped the waste. I suggest the government do the same damn thing.

But think of the waste peddler out there that you're no longer supporting! They might lose their job pitching inefficiencies!

And here's the thing....does anyone believe that the parasites that are generationally-dependent on the government have felt anywhere near the same pain? Hell, most of these morons cart around better cell phones than I do........

Now the poor, elderly, students, and uneducated are parasites? No wonder the GOP can't take the White House...you hate Americans.

Nice attempt at spin, but fail none the less...the students, elderly, and poor are most dependent on the government...do you deny this?

It's not IF they are dependent, it is why, how, etc. that is important. And most important is how to get them OFF of govt. dependency, rather than keep them there. Govt. dependence being more comfortable than self-reliance (or even community reliance) isn't working.

(and that's not even addressing the moral issues I have with govt. charity)

LOL at you accusing me of spin for using your exact words, after mangling ODUSMitty's words (where he didn't say anything about "students, elderly, and poor"). Not many students I have known are dependent on the gov't.

god GOPers are stupid...

"does anyone believe that the parasites that are generationally-dependent on the government"

Students (ever heard of student loans, minimum wage jobs, and food stamps), the elderly, and the poor are dependent on the government...thus he is calling them "parasites"...his word, not mine.

you must know those mitt Romney students...just ask mommy and daddy for money!

GOPers hate Americans.

You don't have to though. Just sit back, relax, and let someone else's honest pay cover it.
