I support furloughs for Washington, DC!

In the ongoing debate about ´malice or ignorance´ as the prime mover for our Beloved Leader, I would offer this: Obama can cause the pain and suffering he predicts after the sequester even if the sequester itself does not. Or he could mitigate the suffering through his own actions. We all know that the left is willing to create ´evidence´ to win most any argument.

This would be proof of malice.

I should say....even more proof.

Stop welfare and free phones first. Then if at all look at (the already meager) salaries and support of those who go into harms way for our freedom. Its a no brainer.

An appropriate response to this nonsense would be a household analogy, "Faced with a smaller payraise than anticipated ,The Demo household has responded that they can no longer buy baby food or Grandmas medicine". Further inquiry has revealed that the booze and cigarette budget are untouched abd the trip to Vegas and Hawaii vacation are still on.

I am appalled by the ignorance of the big spenders. We have a president that just cannot stop spending; he does not care about the economy or circumstances; he wants what he wants. He prints 83 Billion Dollars each month, piles on 1 Trillion Dollars of Debt each year, and he refuses to compromise with the Republicans. Sequestration was his idea in the first place, as it just "kicked the can" down the road. Here we are two years later, he got his tax hike on the rich, it paid for three weeks of his spending, and now he is crying that we just cannot cut. Get over it. Stop spending and cut across the board; if we do not do this, we are doomed.

It´s just the bigger version of every school board´s favorite ploy -- if we don´t raise taxes, we´ll have to cut the football program.

I do not understand what the problem is. Obama clearly stated that energy prices would ´necessarily skyrocket´. Higher energy prices mean higher prices for everything. This is exactly what the voters asked for.

Just wait until the federal minimum wage is raised.

The president DOES believe we are fools and the election proved he is correct. He can say and do anything and the press supports him and the public believes him.

You can whine about the insanity of it all but it will do no good. The majority of the public believes BO even if they don´t like the actual circumstances they find themselves in. Most people do not connect any of the problems of the country back to their source, BO and a failed progressive agenda.

Until Republicans learn how to get the public trust, the progressives will win.

Instead of furloughs, how about a 20% pay cut (and corresponding cut in pension benefits). How many of you have had to settle for less so that government employees enjoy their $100k+ paychecks.
