Same Time Next Month?

Okay, so the dreaded, "draconian" sequestration "cuts" are supposed to happen the end of this week.

Fine.
Let's do it.

First off, a few desperately-needed facts:
1.  The current federal "budget" (now there's a bad joke! the Senate has NOT passed a real budget in 4 years!) for fiscal year 2013 is $3.7 TRILLION (and that's only what they PLAN to spend this year);

2.  The current federal DEFICIT - the difference between what those jackasses TAKE from those of us who actually WORK and what they GIVE to the lazy pukes who DON'T work, when they're not wasting it on stupid shit like turtle tunnels and studies about whether or not drinking makes college coeds have more sex (they do) - is a staggering $1.05 TRILLION as of just today, and it is STILL COUNTING and won't stop counting this year until 1 October;

3. The so-called "sequester cuts" are $85 BILLION - which is something just north of TWO PERCENT of the total amount of money the brain-trust in D.C. intends to spend;

4.  These "cuts" are actually only A SMALL CUT-BACK IN HOW MUCH THEY PLAN TO INCREASE SPENDING THE MONEY THEY STILL DON'T HAVE; 


5. There are only TWO "departments" that the federal government is REQUIRED to provide for all the states:
   a. Post Office;
   b. Defense.

EVERY-DAMNED-THING-ELSE in the FedGov - like all the various, bloated, FAILED agencies, departments, offices, and bureaucratic bullshit - is NOT authorized by the Constitution.

Period.

Look at your own budget in your home.

Now, picture what it would be like if your monthly budget was like the FedGov budget under King Putt, where it would include shit like:
Someone to walk your dog.
Someone to feed your dog.
Someone to water your dog.
Someone to pet your dog.
Someone to groom your dog.
Someone to vaccinate your dog.
Someone to fluff the pillows on the dog's bed.
Someone to scrape up the dog's poop in your yard.
Someone to license your dog.
Someone to make sure that your dog ONLY eats food that some OTHER someone has "studied" and declared it to be "healthy".
Someone to make sure that your dog has paid vacations and maternity/paternity leave.
Someone to monitor all those activities for abuse or neglect.
Someone to represent your dog in a court of law if that monitor decides you dog was abused, neglected, or forced to do anything for itself.
Someone to oversee each and every one of those other someones.
Someone to oversee the overseers.
...and assistants to the overseers, and on and on and on....

Would it REALLY be that tough to cut 2%?
ESPECIALLY since - in D.C. lingo - that "huge cut" would amount to ONLY signing your mutt up for one new aroma-therapy session per month, instead of twice per day.

So, the "draconian" sequester "cuts" hit this week?

BRING 'EM ON!
...AND LET'S DO IT AGAIN EVERY MONTH UNTIL THE FEDGOV HAS SHRUNK DOWN TO A MANAGEABLE SIZE, AND THE DEFICIT GOES DOWN!

IF we manage to REALLY cut the spending - NOT just reduce the amount of increase - then, as an added bonus, that means we wouldn't have to BORROW as much money from our good buddies the ChiComs....
...and THAT would reduce the amount of INTEREST we're paying on those damned loans.
(They must be our bestest buds, since the interest WE pay on the loans they already gave us is financing THEIR military build-up.)

And that would be a little something that our great-grandkids would thank us for, because - as of right now - THEY are on the hook for over $184,000.
Each.

Time to unfuck this nation's finances by unfucking D.C..
CUT SPENDING.
SHRINK THE FEDGOV.

Is it going to hurt?
Is King Putt a socialist jackass?

Still, more sequestration?
Same time next month?
OH HELL YEAH!
