And when you make ill-advised, non-deliberative, across the board "let's get serious about the debt" cuts to the federal budget, only the politically connected get money.
It's really getting hard to express how monumentally stupid this whole thing is. And that sad thing is, it's not rocket science. It's not like any of this was particularly hard to foresee.

Remember what else didn't get cut: entitlements and direct war spending.
ReplyDeleteYou know - the only things that were really in need of serious reform in the first place.

ReplyDeleteYou only have yourself to blame. You admitted being, first, a conservative/facist and then a libertarian.

You best get ready for the future, for it is coming faster than you ever thought possible.
Pay attention readers. This is why I always tell you not to blog drunk (I've done it a couple times... but it's generally not a good idea).
DeleteActually Daniel, it's even worse. When you outlaw guns, only outlaws and the government have guns.
ReplyDeleteI hope that the sequester opens some eyes. Here we are, the richest nation ever, sitting on top of decrepit infrastructure, with continuing high unemployment, and with extremely low borrowing costs. And Congress sits on its hands.
ReplyDeleteMy home town airport is closing its tower, because of the sequester. Unthinkable. But I doubt if our representative will lose any votes over that. How bad do things have to get?
In other words, the sequester is a non-story and all the harrumphing about it was so much hot air.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of air control towers, here is though, this, which is really, really funny: http://reason.com/blog/2013/04/02/sequestration-scare-story-implosion-in-t
I feel your pain. ;)
