On Sequester Day, The President Let An Unusual moment of truth slip out. He snapped back at a reporter during a press conference, and for one brief moment, the veil was pulled back.

NBC/U.S. NEWS

The name may be weird. But the effects of sequestration will hit all of us very close to home and for some Americans later this month if the cuts are allowed. One day after President Obama signed an order to cut spending by $1.2 trillion over 10 years, NBC News shows how how people may feel the pinch from New York to Chicago to Los Angeles.

New York
Young children in New York City’s most disadvantaged neighborhoods might be among those affected by sequestration as Head Start programs face a 5 percent cut, NBC New York reported. In the Brownsville section of Brooklyn, the SCO Morris Koppelman Center is the only Head Start program in an area where almost half of neighborhood children live below the poverty line. “It’s extremely difficult and very frightening to think what will happen to the families and the children in the community,” Shana Hewitt, program director at the Morris Koppelman Center, told NBC New York.

As always NBC helping Obama to move forward with his radical tactics. Barack Obama’s entire campaign strategy — and don’t forget, he’s always campaigning — is based on convincing different groups of Americans to hate each other. He tries to convince black and Hispanic Americans that Republicans hate them for their skin color, gays that Republicans hate them for their sexuality, women that the GOP is pro-rape, poor people that the rich are taking all their money, people who’ve had children killed that gun owners are in favor of their children dying — it just goes on and on.

There have been campaigns of genocide across the world that have featured less vitriolic rhetoric against the people who were murdered than Barack Obama and Company have engaged in since he became President. Then they turn around and wonder why Republicans in Congress have trouble working with them. Go figure.

Texas

Lone Star state schools, air travel, military operations and more stand to be trimmed, NBC Dallas-Fort Worth reported. The Texas state budget may lose $334 million in cuts to public education programs, and more than 285 schools stand to lose federal funding starting July 1 if lawmakers don’t come to an agreement. Special education, English language classes, nutrition programs, early child intervention and family protective services could also be hit. The Texas Education Agency alone may lose grants totaling as much as $167.7 million, according to NBC Dallas-Fort Worth.

This piddly amount is nothing compared just to the higher costs of products and goods due to monetary policy malpractice being perpetrated on every single American by this same administration. Enough of the “sky is falling” media people. We’ve been down this road before. Nothing to see here.

Maryland
The military may see as much $100 million for operations vanish in Maryland, NBC Washington reported. Military facilities in Maryland may lose $95 million in base operations, and furloughs of civilian employees could result in a $359 million payroll reduction, according to a letter the Pentagon sent Gov. Martin O’Malley, the station reported. Outside defense spending, the Washington, D.C. Metro transit system could see a loss of $22 million between lost grants and decreased ridership.

California
Parents in California also worried about the potential impact on their young children as Head Start programs were trimmed, NBC Los Angeles reported. “We can’t pay for it,” Ismael Lopez said of other preschool options for his son. “Everything is so expensive.” Cuts to funding for schools, the military and disability services could total $500 million, and primary and secondary education may see a $87.6 million cut, according to NBC Los Angeles.

Connecticut
The budget cuts include slashing funds for the Federal Aviation Administration by about $600 million nationwide, NBC Connecticut reported. How much any resulting delays may cost airline passengers in travel time at the state’s airports won’t be known until the cuts settle in, said aviation consultant Ed Garlick. “We won’t really know until we get into it. It could be minutes. It could be hours,” he told NBC Connecticut.

The president proposed the sequester, he then signed the bill. Both parties are to blame, but as the leader of the country it falls on him. BTW, Up until 1960′s just about every civil rights legislation was brought forward by the GOP.

As for Obama’s spending, he spent more on Obamacare than both wars COMBINED. (1/6 of the US economy and still growing) As an American you should be concerned that the country is spending at a historic levels. As for Bush, he DID spend too much, but that doesn’t make it right to spend even more. In terms of corporate give-aways, we have the second highest corporate tax rate in the first world.

Florida
Florida residents spoke out about their fears that the spending cuts may cast a cloud over the Sunshine State. “I think people are going to be affected locally, and I think people need to be angrier than they are at the fact that Congress is not working together to serve us as people,” attorney Lynn Dannheisser told NBC Miami. Community hospitals and institutions of higher learning, including the University of Miami and Florida International University, may stand to see some of their funding dry up as a result of the cuts.

We also have the most progressive tax system in the first world (meaning we have the fewest number of people paying the majority of the taxes, while we have the largest number of people paying no federal taxes). There are two ways to raise revenue, have more people pay in or try to get more out a 2% minority that are already paying more than 60% of the federal tax dole. During the Bush tax cuts, in 2007, the fed collected more revenue than any year in US history.

Chicago
Scott Air Force Base, a major employer in Illinois, could be hit hard by the cuts, according to NBC Chicago. Head Start programs in Illinois would likely be hit, too. “It’s not just cold-hearted. It’s stupid economic policy,” said Diana Rauner, president of the Ounce of Prevention Fund, a nonprofit that serves 1,300 Chicago children. The U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Illinois in Chicago is considering closing its doors for one work day a week if the cuts take full effect, said court clerk Tom Bruton.

It has nothing to do with his color, it has everything to do with his lack of understanding of how an economy works and his total lack of leadership at every key point of his presidency. Just because he is a great speaker, doesn’t make him a great leader.

Philadelphia
The program Meals on Wheels is preparing for a worst-case scenario, according to NBC Philadelphia. Cuts to the program could mean waiting lists or stopping deliveries to home-bound clients altogether. “They wouldn’t be able to stay at home and then they would probably end up in a nursing homes, which would cost the government a fortune,” Bill Decamp of Lehigh Valley told NBC Philadelphia.

The number of federal employees has risen under Barrack Hussein. There were 2,790,000 federal workers in January 2009 when the president took office, and now there are 2,804,000 workers. The fact is that there is no month during Barrack Husseins term when the federal workforce was smaller than it was in the first month of his presidency. He took over in January 2009. Every month after January 2009 has seen more federal workers than were employed in January 2009.

Moreover, there are more federal workers under Barrack Hussein than there were under President Bush. On the other hand, total government employment, federal plus state and local, has fallen significantly under Barrack Hussein after rising significantly under President Bush. State and local governments are basically autonomous of the federal government and their cutbacks are driven at the state and local levels, not from Washington.

It’s important not to understate the federal government’s role in the size of state and local governments. The stimulus gave tens of billions of federal dollars to the states in order to prevent cutbacks in the number of state and local workers.

This money would have been better appropriated to the private sector so more productive jobs could be created. Government jobs are a burden on the overall economy. Government jobs can best be described as overhead on our economy. They are an expense. Obviously a portion of cost must be appropriated to the government to run its Constitutionally mandated Enumerated Powers. The problem we have is that it has dramatically and unsustainably exceeded that.

Obviously PMSNBC is trying to pull on the heartstrings of the unwashed masses, just like Barrack Hussein.

Of course the “bleeding heart” Liberals/Progressives will showcase all the hardship that the poor, disenfranchised and special education children will suffer.

Pulmonary Sequesteration

Perhaps if we didn’t have the dysfunctional government run public education system we are all forced to allow our children to be indoctrinated in, we could avoid all the hand-wringing that the Liberal cabal and their complicit media encourage. We spend more than any nation, other than Switzerland, on education yet our children rank in the lower ½ to 1/3 on all OECD nations in math, science and reading.

Maybe if our Dept. of Education would address this study our schools could be run efficiently and afford-ably, not to mention give our children the education they will need to compete in the 21^st century economy.

According to a 2006 study by the Goldwater Institute, Arizona’s public schools spend 50% more per student than Arizona’s private schools. The study also says that while teachers constitute 72% of the employees at private schools, they make up less than half of the staff at public schools. According to the study, if Arizona’s public schools wanted to be like private schools, they would have to hire approximately 25,000 more teachers, and eliminate 21,210 administration employees.

So, private schools cost 50% less, they employ 25% more TEACHERS, rather than administrators, and we wonder why little Johnny and Suzy graduate high school reading at an 8^th grade level from the Public School system.

More shamefully, 20% of our high school graduates CAN’T EVEN READ THEIR DIPLOMAS!!!!!!

Of course the criminal teachers goonion union is complicit in this rape of or children’s education and the Liberals/Progressives continue their irrational support of them!

Then again, we are on our second generation of illiterates being graduated from our public school systems, most of the unwashed masses don’t even realize they are illiterate.

This is the ultimate example of the Dunning-Kruger effect most Liberals/Progressives suffer from.

  Sequestration

  President Obama claims sequestration will not happen but he is the one who insisted it be included.

  With Congress unable to reach a deal to avert the indiscriminate spending cuts put in place in the Budget Control Act of 2011, President Obama on Friday signed an order authorizing the government to begin canceling $85 billion from federal accounts for this fiscal year.

  As Obama said during a press conference yesterday, “This is not going to be a apocalypse, I think as some people have said. It’s just dumb. And it’s going to hurt. It’s going to hurt individual people and it’s going to hurt the economy overall.” In a 83-page letter to House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH), the Office of Management and Budget details the specific reductions each government program will face. Here are the dumbest and most painful cuts:

  Health care

   

  

   

  $20 million cut from the Maternal, Infant, and Early Childhood Home Visiting Programs
  $10 million cut from the World Trade Center Health Program Fund
  $168 million cut from Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration
  $75 million cut from the Aging and Disability Services Programs

  Housing

   

  

   

  $199 million cut from public housing
  $96 million cut from Homeless Assistance Grants
  $17 million cut from Housing Opportunities for Persons with AIDS
  $19 million cut from Housing for the Elderly
  $175 million cut from Low Income Home Energy Assistance

  I’ve got nothing to add.  This definately hurts the economy andisno less austerity.  More taxes combined with spending cuts, its going to hurt and we will end up where Greece is now.  Reality is no matter what we do, we can’t sustain this economic system.  It is broken. -Mort

  Wake up America!

  Is this any way to run a nation, by constantly campaigning and going on TV, LYING about everything you are and everything you represent?
