We're broke.. We can't come to terms on a budget.. Workers will be furloughed.. Several government programs will be cut that affect working people. We're told we need to tighten our belts and figure out how to get through these times.

Yet.. We're still sending millions of dollars to countries that hate us.. Our VP can spend close to a million dollars on one trip.. Our president has had a vacation once a month since January, along with his family and we're not talking to his home to work, we're talking to lavish places.. And yet we can't keep the WH open for free tours..

WTF is going on in DC?

There's a sorry f'n Marxist at the helm.

Democrats were given the option of having Obama pick and choose where he would make the cuts and they turned it down. It would seem that if Obama was the one who made a cut he would be blamed for making it and we all know he can never be made to look bad. Just more proof he's incapable of making the tough decisions. But I also believe democrats want the sequester to be painful so the little people like us would oppose it. But then again, this was all Barry's idea, wasn't it?

What I'm noticing is that those who are being affected are the ones paying into the system or have paid into the system.

I wish our Social Security was ran like a 401k, that nobody could touch.

Here I go wishful thinking again..

And guys I understand that he's the POTUS and that has to be the most stressful job in the world, but seriously, if we're in a bind, cut back until we figure it out. It should be his job to work endlessly to work and bring the sides together..
