Biggest bunch of revisionist propaganda I may have ever read.

What country was this guy living in? (or was he BORN yet)

Isn´t it interesting to find so many opinions that just aren´t true in anything that comes out of the AP? Just go through this piece and take note of the instances of liberal thought processes leaning the tone heavily to the left.

What a load of shinola..
The tax increases were dealt with earlier in the year.
No more revenues aaaaaaah er soak the investor class.

Interesting bunch of nonsense. Maybe all those lefty teachers indoctrinated this dimwit all too effectively. Shades of Pravda...

Wow, many false statements in there.

- Tax increases were out? No, we just had tax increases 2 months ago. Remember?

- In 2000 the economy was already heading down. The stock market crashed in March 2000.

- Deficits have grown ever since? No, deficits peaked at $412 billion in 2003-2004 before dropping to $160 billion 2006-2007.

- The Gramm Rudman sequesters were killed by the courts.

And another thing:

I always hear that the Bush tax cuts and wars are to blame for the trillion dollar deficits of the past 4 years. But the deficits were between $160 billion and $400 billion from 2001-2007 even with the Bush tax cuts and 2 wars.

When an adult has a hissy fit it is so unbecoming. Get two rolls of pennies and two glasses. Put two cents in one glass and all the rest in the other. That´s it. That is what this represents. Almost nothing. It is actually only cutting the growth. We will still be spending more than last year. I find it hard to believe that president skeeter could not find ONE program that could be dropped. Not ONE that was useless or redundant. If he would stop jetting around the country that would save a ton of money.

To paraphrase the words of President Ronald Reagan, "There´s just so much that Tom Raum knows that isn´t so."

More excrement from APee. I have never seen so many lies in one article before. Of anyone knows economics, they can see right through it. The problem is most people do NOT understand finance or economics. I am the first person to stop the creation of new stupid laws, but it should be criminal to print outright lies in a news article. People like this author belong in jail for intentionally misleading the public.

My neighbor is the Principal of the County VoTech. Asked him about funding cuts from Washington. He told me that Washington money is about 1% of what runs the school ($120K/year) specifically earmarked for looney lib stuff like free breakfasts and lunches. So a 2% cut of $120K is barely anything, couple of small truckloads of Mac ´n Cheese. Anyway, most of this stuff get thrown out. It´s a school, not an orphanage. Kids should bring their lunch.

No layoffs at all. No layoffs of any kind coming.

Steyn says the spending is 40% higher now than in 2007.

Thank God we aren´t still living in those dark days.

To the Ass Press: Quit calling it a cut. It was a reduction to the increase that agencies didn´t have last year.

It´s called, ´Spinning for Bam Bam.´

What pathetic nonsense. The fool writer intentionally doesn´t mention that sequestration was Obama´s idea. These aren´t "dumb cuts" dreamed up Republicans as he now lies again and again. These stupid ideas were proposed by the idiots at Team Obama, including the head idiot. BHO.

Ya gotta BLame Joghn Boehner, right? After all, he was given that last seven minute meeting with the President to pull us out of this and he blew it.Right? Get outta town, fool Raum.

Cap government salaries to 90% of the civilian equivalent national average, roll them off their gold plated plans over to Social Security and Obamacare and end the real budget problem once and for all. Hmmmmmmmmmm, no one would want to work for the government anymore. Imagine, you wouldn´t have to furlough or lay off any government workers, they would leave on their own.

Ah yes. Meat for the uninformed and gullible. Sure. Roosevelt screwed the recovery up by not putting enough debt into the recovery. But no mention that a previous depression in early twenties jumped out in just two years with massive tax reductions.

And of course Reagan was ultimately responsible for the 2008 recession. Did you know that? But not a mention of the liberals giving the farm away forcing lenders to give loans to those who didn´t qualify.

We see in this piece why the media can no longer be trusted with anything. Liberals will use any station in life to propagandize and force their lies on the ignorant. These authors rightly belong in a tyrannical state as they are willing to sell their souls and reputation. But in the liberal world this is deserving of a medal. After all, their leader lies everytime he opens his mouth.

The super committee put together to find cuts was derailed from the start not by conservatives, but by those who would not under any circumstances consider ANY cut at all.

It was the Speaker´s deal that just about everyone knew would not work because you cannot deal with people who only seek to "tax and tax and spend and spend" as Ronaldus Magnus told us.

Those of us outside of DC KNEW any deal with the devil was a bad deal, but the Obamboozler charmed his way into Boehner´s heart.

We have had numerous tax increases, especially Obamacare promised to SAVE us money and "reduce the debt and deficit" shoved down our throats because the tea-party supported conservatives are either out numbered or have lost their backbone and refuse to vote against this massive government intrusion into our lives.

Obama and the media´s only solution? False fear mongering and using government to claim that we are not safe with meat inspections of travelling by airplane unless we fork over EVEN MORE TAXES.

No more "deals" Mr. Speaker! Down, boy!

FTA: Republicans, influenced by tea party and other conservative factions,

I got the gist of it there, and quit reading.
