Look, the govt in 2013 will spend $15 billion more than they did in 2012, even with the sequestration cuts. That's right copper, $15 billion more than last year!!! Quit believing the lies being told by the Obama administration. Yet another example to provide context. In 2012 Obama cut defense spending ~$460 billion over 10 years....yes, that's right, about $46 billion per year and no stories about 800k employees being furloughed right? And yet with a puny $22 billion cut in 2013 the world is ending. Don't be a low information voter.....think for yourself. Use logic and reason.

All they are doing is trying to do is make this look bad when it is in fact not bad at all. Its a 4% cut in a budget that was scheduled to grow by more than 4% meaning they will spend more in 2013 than in 2012 by $15 billion. Explain to me how they could afford all these people in 2012 with $15 billion less than they will have in 2013?!?!? All they have to do is allow each dept to shift funds around and not one person will need to be furloughed and no changes will occur. But when you need a good prop for a political benefit who cares, right? I suppose the good news is that unlike Beghazi no one will be killed......unless Obama finds it politically beneficial.

This is exactly why we have the kind of leadership in this country with the rubes that believe anything they read.
