So I rose this morning to the sounds of birds chirping on their annual flight from South to North. The sky was a perfect shade of blue, and the traffic lights all were in perfect operating condition for my daily trek towards productivity. I counted three police vehicles, all of them being driven by peace officers. I also confirmed with my local fire department that they were indeed open and just waiting for some actual emergency to happen so that they might be able to spring into action. I saw a line of cars at several McDonald’s restaurants, Gas stations were open for those motorists who needed to fill their tanks, and both television and radio stations were telling me all I never wanted to know about current events. In short, life is happening today, much as it has since that early Spring morning almost 50 years ago when I made my entrance into this world.
Welcome to, “gasp!” Sequestration day, plus 4. Just like the great Gulf Oil spill disaster of 2010, the ill effects of Chicken Little episode number 964 have been greatly overblown. (Before the usual suspects of Liberal America start bunching their panties into that irretrievably uncomfortable wad, I know that the oil spill was not a good thing. That being said, even you guys have to admit that the predictions of all life ending for every species of animal and plant in that region have not become reality. Fishermen never stopped fishing, and the owners of beach resorts opened their businesses immediately after the episode ended. Further, any stories that we’ve heard about actual problems have been few, and not at all that terrible, in fact, I’m not really sure that there have been any permanent ill effects at all.)
Rest assured that what ever shuts down in our Government, and who ever may find themselves temporarily out of work, back pay and postdated restitution will be made or arranged for. In effect, this is nothing more than a paid vacation for every poor civil servant, who by the way statistically speaking, probably is remunerated at a rate 40% greater than their private sector counterpart to begin with, who finds him or herself sent home as a result. What’s important to remember in the coming days of news reports desperately seeking any kind of human suffering that can be found and then blamed upon those evil Republicans, is that our President’s Constitutional duty is as our nation’s chief executive. When any organization cuts its budget, it is the executives of that organization who determine where and how deeply to make those cuts. When Barack Obama goes about the business this week ensuring that the cuts are felt hardest of all within those areas of government that most people agree are the essential services that government provides, please use your head and realize that that particular cut was Barack Obama’s doing, and nobody else’s. There are plenty of other places where the cuts could have been made, and as long as I can tune in NPR and listen about or latest gift of weapons and such to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt and Libya, I would say that we haven’t come anywhere near eliminating the unnecessary that should have gone long before we got to the police and firefighters that our President has been trotting out onto stages that he’s appeared on during his taxpayer funded campaign tour.
Elections have consequences, and Barack Obama’s rampage to destroy America is one we’ve earned by electing this Man and his band of minions. The EPA, Departments of Education, Energy, Obamacare, Dodd Frank, are all relatively new sources of government largess that have done not one single positive thing for our national well being. I bet we could lose those boondoggles and suffer not one single negative consequence, and all of that before the first policeman loses his job.

FIRST. So there.
So Obama has closed the White House because of staff reductions due to his sequestration? Didn’t he tell his staff earlier that they would not be affected by the sequestration? Also, since we are only a few days into the sequestration and it effects will not be felt for many months, why is he doing this now? Is there any truth coming from the this administration? Ever?
@ father_of_10:
he didnt feel like dealing with the commoners anymore.
so today, i saw many trucks on the roads delivering goods, airplanes in the sky, i even saw dot funded highway construction going on.

Generally speaking, yes.
However, state and local governments get a lot of grants from the feds to pay for specific positions, especially since the ‘stimulus” slush fund started doling out cash.
If they cut off those grants, there’s no money to pay those folks.

@ Lily:
Baby doc Barack has been using the stimulus money for the past four years, (remember that this one time only thing was indeed added to the baseline making it a forever and ever thing,) to distribute to local governments for the express purpose of adding jobs to the AFSCME payrolls. That includes police and fire and teachers, all of whom double as convenient props any time the matters concerning budget are brought up. Bear in mind, this is not about sanity, but poorly produced Kabuki Theater.

The really ironic thing about this is that all the people they’re releasing are actually criminals, because those are the only illegals they detain these days. Ordinary illegals are just turned loose, if they’re caught in the interior, or they’re turned around if they’re caught near the border.
So if you’re not a criminal, they send you home. If you are a criminal, though, they turn you loose on our streets.
fire the shot gun through the door? hmmm, OK did that once (haven’t seen the landlord in 15 years) Hey it’s not what your thinking I dropped it while cleaning it… yeah, but if it happens twice? I don’t know and besides doors are expensive.
So I posted the following on the last thread (thinking I was on THIS thread)but it is mroe relevant here. This sequester cut is a sham. All this is, is a cut in expected growth of the budget, not a cut in the budget from last year. We will still be spending MORE money than we were last year, just not quite as much more. This administration and all of the liberals before are playing a shell game with the citizens. .. and a little more than fifty percent of these same citizens are too stupid to figure it out. I’m afraid this country is screwed.
there is NOTHING the feds are not involved in, either directly or in thru the back door

@ Lily:
Of course, the fact that the feds cut off grant money doesn’t necessarily mean that a department has to furlough the people who are in those grant-funded positions right away. A competently-run department could shift money from other accounts to cover it (just as the feds could, but choose not to).

I see lots of whining on the local news about the effects of the sequester. But what is that financially? Loss of federal funds? I question why a lot of these sequester complaints need federal funding at all. If the activity occurs in all 50 states then the sequester funding was just one state stealing from another states taxpayers assisted by the feds.
Maybe just derail the IRS a little more and let the states funds the missing activities. It’s like federal funds are Heroin to addicted State spenders.

A guy down the street had murdered his daughter’s boyfriend and tried to run for it. Shot him dead in the street.
His daughter and her now husband live in that house now. 2 kids. He’s in jail for life.
That’s about as exciting as it gets and that was in 1993. Nothing since. Pretty quiet.

right, density is what we are looking at, like your district…NYC proper is not that much bigger than Chicago which is huge at 234sqm and 2.5m people…as opposed to ABQ which is a whopping 188sqm but only 600k people…we are very spread out…ABQ is about 10m wide and 20m long or a bit less…but we don’t have all the cool varied ethnics, which always blows me away in either NYC or Chicago…the heavy international thing, which enrichens the culture…even with our Native and Hispanic folks, we are pretty ho hum in comparison

This just does not make sense at all. Since the Obama regime is Communist — why would they want to take out the Communist leader of Venezuela? I thought all those Commie leaders hung together.

We got along with one because they were nice to Molly. And they had a little girl I just fell in love with. She was hell on wheels on steroids.
The other..well, I physically assaulted the father because he let his boys attack her. Stopped the bullshit and superficial curtesy went forward.
But I came THIS close to killing him and he knew it.
But I never trusted any of them -- ever. With anything.

Back in the ’90s, I worked for a small software company. There was one customer I was not allowed to work with. a saudi hospital. The contract with them included the stipulation my company did not have any Jews on staff.
Don’t know how my company figured out I was Jewish. I have learned the hard way its best to kept that to myself. I was pulled aside by the CEO. Told they needed the business, but had not intention of complying with that aspect of the contract. As far as this saudi hospital was concerned, I did not exist.
