I wasn't aware that Obama can stop the sequestration if Republicans are set on going through with it.
Let's be fair here, Republicans were eventually willing to comprise on tax increases on the first part of the fiscal cliff negotiations. I think it is time that the President and the democrats now work with the republicans on a compromised alternative set of cuts.
Not considering he signed it into law.
$52.8 billion in 2011. The military health network is there to ensure the readiness of the armed forces, we have doctors because we need them on the battlefield. I hope you see the difference between that and Obamacare.
I understand. You don't want the government to administer a healthcare network unless it is the people with whom you associate. You want government cuts except if those cuts make your job more difficult.
I see the difference between this and Obamacare as being this is your world and those people in the Obamacare world are merely civilians, like me. I see where you are coming from.
BTW, the budget for The Department for Veterans Affairs is 139 billion in 2012.
They blame Obama for everything and credit him for nothing. Congress makes the laws and pays the bills, but it is all Obama's fault.Oh I was unaware that laws originate in the Executive branch.
You don't like my opinion? I am shocked! This is a two way street, and you have made it clear that there is to be no reasoning with you over the military budget, yet I did not come on and claim there is no reasoning with you. You want to make this personal? Well it is obvious that people tend to defend government involvement when the matters hit close to home. You are biased in this discussion because it affects your life if the military is cut. Deal with it. We, the taxpayers who are overwhelmingly civilian, pay your salary. If it bothers you perhaps you can step away from the government teat and get a private sector job where capitalism will make you a wealthy man.Wow, there is absolutley no reasoning with you.
Once again you resort to emotionally driven personal attacks. You used to be a well reasoned person who respected the viewpoints of all. I am saddened to see this tranformation in you.Wow, there is absolutley no reasoning with you.
I am trying to demonstrate that he, just like others around the country, get emotional about government cuts when they hit close to home. He seems to be trying to defend his refusal to want a military budget cut on a sense of patriotism when he has already admitted that the cuts will affect his job making it harder.Once again you resort to emotionally driven personal attacks. You used to be a well reasoned person who respected the viewpoints of all. I am saddened to see this tranformation in you.
Apparently, people think the republicans will be to blame for the sequester, as it should be. They still are the party of no unless it is their way. The republican party is becoming irrelevant more and more as each month passes.
What do you mean? The sequester is supposed to cut discretionary spending across the board by 8.2%, which includes some entitlements. They will cut 3 billion just from public housing support. Do you even know the details of the sequester?Really? The Republicans gave on taxes.
So far Obama has yet to give on entitlements.
