| Dems Want Sequester Un-Done as Part of Deal |
| 2013-10-16 |
| Never let a crisis go to waste. Many conservatives view the past seven months of lower spending levels as one of their accomplishments in dealing with Obama and want to continue them. However... But GOP defense hawks complain that the next round of automatic cuts falls almost entirely on the Pentagon, and many Republicans want to shift that burden to domestic programs. Obama and Democrats would do away with them altogether, substituting new taxes and maybe some spending cuts elsewhere in their place. Let's get what we want into this package before Thursday, boys; we got 'em on the run! |

| #4 The DemoLeft nearly always wins "The Blame Game" because the MSM = Left Medias never NOT blames the GOP-Right. The only time a Democrat Donk is blamed is iff a GOP Trunk is right next to him being blamed also - anything else is all GOP Trunks. THE ABOIVE IS CALLED "MEDIA ETHICS/ PROFESSIONALISM", "FAIR-N-BALANCED", ETC. |

| #3 if the healthcare.gov site continues its non functioning for the next month or so, it will be a historic opportunity to call attention to the incompetence of leftism even if the site is fixed, if it doesn't get the healthy people who don't need health insurance to buy it anyway, Obama care is in a world of difficulty and with it, the leftist worldview even many leftists know this how well the non leftists can make this point remains to be seen of course and, in any event, the current Reid-McConnell bill leaves the sequester in place until Jan 2014 |

| #2 Of course the Dems do. They do not want to make any compromises. They believe the President should have the power of the purse. The Pubs better be careful or they will get rolled again. I hope they don't cave. Unfortunately, many of the voters only watch Obama press conferences, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS, NBC and are not well-informed regarding what's going really on. The left seems to be winning the blame game (although how can one really tell with all the lies, distortions and bought polls put out by the left). |

| #1 Spend! Spend! Spend! In 2005, it cost the Treasury one dollar to produce 100 pennies. Today one dollar buys the Treasury about 42 pennies. That's why gas is not going to get cheaper. Commodities generally stay relative to each other. It's the paper funny money that loses value when the print it without backing. It's just another form of tax removing value from the product of your labor, skills, and entrepreneurship. |
