Dems say sequester will hurt
blacks, women more than others

The Hill [Washington, DC], by Pete Kasperowicz

Original Article

Posted By:KarenJ1, 3/5/2013 10:13:52 AM

Members of the Congressional Black Caucus said Monday night that the $85 billion in cuts to federal spending, known as the sequester, will disproportionately affect blacks and other minorities, in part because they are more likely to work for the government. "Sequestration will impact everyone, but it will have a particularly harmful effect on communities of color who were hit first and worst by the great recession, and have yet to significantly feel the effects of the recovery," Rep. Barbara Lee (D-Calif.) said Monday. "Federal budget cuts under sequestration would quickly mean cuts to federal, state and local

How can it hurt them? From what I read most of these people are on SSI, Disability, Food Stamps and Section 8 Housing to the tune of about $3,000/month. Plus. Should they own a house rather than Section 8, they can collect up to $35,000 to bring their mortgages up to date.

I don´t think sequestration will be hurting them too much!

Hooray! I knew that would be the case. As I said a few weeks back, everything hurts blacks and women the most (oh, and the children... they left that out, for now). Blacks and women, the two most HELPLESS groups in history. It must really be tough if you are both a woman AND black!

This just in....

Disusting Dem race-baiters are lying again.
Someone tell me how a 2% reduction to the proposed spending (which was already increased ~4% over actual 2012 spending) can possibly have any disproportionare impact on blacks or women UNLESS OBAMA CHOOSES TO APPLY THE CUTS IN THAT FASHION.
If so, blame Obama, instead of trying to call Republicans raaaaaaaacists.
By the same token, I can say that Obama´s proposed tax hikes will hurt whites and men more than others.
Suck on that, Barbara Lee

If in fact minorities and women are disproportionately hired by the federal government, then there is a bias that needs to be corrected.

The "private" sector has been losing jobs to the tune of 350,000+/- PER MONTH just since 2009. Therefore, over four years, more than SIXTEEN MILLION jobs have been lost. Maybe 150k jobs have been created (most in the public sector, i believe).

So, post-sequester... hey! it´s the "new normal," like higher energy and food costs!!! not to worry

Why didn´t someone tell us this would happen? Maybe we could have tried harder to stop it?

[Some years ago after the crash of an airliner, investigators were of course looking for the "black box" because they are made of materials that survive plane crashes. A comedian suggested that if so, why don´t they make the whole plane from the stuff? Recalling that suggestion, I believe we should find out what Race Cards are made from. Anyone borderline rational or sentient is altogether sick of them, and yet, though they are played again and again and again and again, do they ever wear out? There must be a million things we could make from whatever they´re made from: lifetime tires for your car! 100-year carpets! One-and-done siding for your house! And roof shingles, too. I´d bet it´s tougher than "black box" material! One grows giddy....]

Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell´s campaign has contacted the FBI after a recording of a private strategy meeting was published Tuesday in a liberal publication, claiming the campaign was the victim of "Watergate-style tactics" to bug the office. Several snippets of the audio from the February strategy sessions were published Tuesday by Mother Jones magazine, along with a lengthy article. The recording, obtained from an unnamed source, included McConnell aides discussing ways to politically damage actress Ashley Judd, who at the time was talked about as a possible McConnell challenger.

Baroness Thatcher was Conservative prime minister from 1979 to 1990. She was the first woman to hold the post. Her family is expected to make a further statement later.

Having been education secretary, she successfully challenged former prime minister Edward Heath for her party´s leadership in 1975.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Don’t hide behind a procedural action to prevent a vote. That’s the wrong thing to do, and that’s how the president clearly feels.”

There was growing buzz over the weekend that a bipartisan agreement on gun control — a deal that would expand background checks — could hit the floor as early as this week. However, any deal could be derailed by the looming threat of a Republican filibuster involving Texas Sen. Ted Cruz. With Cruz standing proudly in the way of any gun legislation, Democrats are trying to make him pay a political price — and even a couple of high-profile Republicans are questioning his tactics.

The case of a same-sex Connecticut couple accused of repeatedly raping and abusing two of their nine adopted boys is headed for trial. Married couple George Harasz and Douglas Wirth of Glastonbury were supposed to be sentenced Friday in Hartford Superior Court under a plea deal, but instead withdrew from their agreement with prosecutors. The men had already pleaded no contest in January to one felony count each of risk of injury to a minor — a reduction from even more serious charges related to sexual assault....
