Was it a coincidence that our Vice President awarded medals to public safety employees¹ while the president threatened us with the consequences of losing public sector jobs because of sequester cuts? Mr. Obama is good at the propaganda game (see: Tricks From the Obama Disinformation and Propaganda Mill), but his condemnation of a “meat-cleaver approach”² to budget cuts has nothing to do with the jobs that will move the country forward and that most unemployed Americans are seeking.
The Obama Democratic Dictatorship is Majority Rule at its Worst
Barack Obama is wise. He knows that he can trample the Constitution and strike out on his own as long as he takes his case to the people and keeps Congress tied up in knots with an aggressively divisive agenda. Meanwhile, the issues that will ruin us are put on the back burner while Republicans try to imitate what made our president so popular last November with feeble stabs at courting Hispanics and halfhearted endorsements of immigration reform.
Halting the Sequester Will Be a Historic Betrayal
In less than three weeks Congress gets its wake up call. Campaigns will be over. For better or worse, voters will have made their decision. We will be two months away from taking a nosedive over Washington’s painstakingly constructed fiscal cliff.
Partisanship is the Most Dangerous Government Waste
Washington wastes a lot more than money. The most dangerous and damaging government waste comes not from squandering tax dollars, but from partisan politics denying the country opportunities to make things better. Will the end of America be brought about by partisanship maintaining our downward spiral, until we reach the point of no return?
Congress Should Thank the GSA for Abusing Our Tax Dollars
Instead of summoning the guilty from the General Services Administration for a round of Capitol Hill pomp, posturing, and threats, members of Congress should be on their knees thanking the GSA for giving them something inconsequential to be outraged about. Gross abuses of our money like tens of billions in improper payments reflect badly on lawmakers during tax season, especially Democrats in the habit of holding out their hands whenever they get the urge to spend (see: Panhandling Democrats Had Revenue and Taxes for Extensions).
