Mr. Brown (an official with Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service) asked “if there was any latitude” in how to spread the sequester cuts across the region to lessen the impacts on fish inspections.
He said he was discouraged by officials in Washington, who gave him this reply: “We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be.”

Their plan is obviously to divide the population, set them at each other's throats and use the ensuing pandemonium to loot the treasury.

And thelies Obama uses to support this position just keep on coming. Even CBS News can't ignore them.

Sad are the apologists like you who refuse to admit the truth. Even CBS News gets it. Wake up Pussy.

This is the best you and Pussy can come up with? "Phreddy quotes Fox, Phreddy is a master of shill". You two aren't much in the way of worthy adversaries. How about countering my contentions? Or would that be too much of a stretch for you?

The stretching is all in the round muscle through which you've passed your head. My comment is simply to suggest that you give it a rest. Find another theme or pound your pud somewhere else.

Ridiculing the argument and making the person who questions authority seem 'silly' does not change the facts.
Sadly, this is the way we debate in the modern day - we don't delve into the pros and cons of the facts and defend our positions with well-considered arguments... We don't listen to the other person and genuinely consider what they have to say. It's much easier to just make the other person out to be some sort of tin-foil-hat idiot. After all, anyone who disagrees with the Democratic Talking Points® must be a complete idiot and therefore cannot possibly present any worthy thoughts.

As I thought. You have no problem interjecting yourself into a discussion despite having absolutely nothing to say.

Whatever you say phreddy. Even Fox said it was taken out of context. My understanding of this snippet of email you use as your ammunition actually isn't about the sequestration at all. It is about the FY2013 (written in 2011 by Obama and Congress) budget which said that the cuts were to be across the board. And that was the point. Do not deviate from the plan as that is not how it was written.
You and those who seem hell bent on destroying this President read whatever you like into it. I know I can't change your opinion. Hell, most of you still deny the economy is improving.

Yet another example of how Obama is manipulating this tiny reduction in the growth of spending to hurt as much as possible strictly for political advantage. He is motherfucking asshole and a traitor to his country.. Check that, OUR country.
The Army announced Friday that it will no longer accept applications for its Tuition Assistance program, which gives soldiers as much as $4,500 annually to take courses, at accredited schools, toward high school and college diplomas. Army officials could not give a specific amount on how much the cuts would save but said 201,000 soldiers used the program in fiscal 2012 at the cost of $373 million.
In addition, the Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard announced this week that their programs also have been suspended.

officials have gone after “low hanging fruit” such as military tuition assistance because special interest groups have protected big items like weapons systems
Didn't Ike warn us about this?

Hey, Obama is a politician. The one group that universally voted against him was the military, so hey, he's not losing any votes on spreading some of the pain there.

Yes, understood. But they generally vote Republican... so let's just say it's 'party politics', OK?

Again - conservative urban myth. There is a reason the Florida Republicans tried to prevent absentee ballots from being registered, a very large percentage of the military is now made up of minorities. They military is rolling left again - I know the conservatives hate that fact but it's their own damn fault and if they bothered to take a look instead of spouting Rush Limbaugh mantra they might begin to understand.

Hahahah this is complete bullshit. As someone who got out a few years ago, the military still votes heavily (R).
