Everyone remembers the howling of
pending catastrophic impacts leading up to and following enactment
of sequester, an idea spawned by the Administration and endorsed by the
President. But as noted in previous items, the Administration's hype of
impending harm was over-hyped and covert efforts were undertaken by the
Administration to exacerbate its impacts so the public would beg for it
to be undone. These actions on the part of the Administration and its
facilitators in Congress and the media are nothing short of
disgusting propagandization. The purpose of this propaganda campaign?
To get public consent permitting the Administration to do what IT
wants with OUR money. This item shares with you the basis for this
charge.
Debbie Wasserman-Schultz, member
of the House of Representatives and Democratic Party Chairman, is a
poster child for this propaganda campaign. According to Mike Flynn her
top aide "earns around $160k a year. She pays two additional aides
around $120k a year. She has five additional aides who earn between
$60-100k a year". Speaking about impacts of sequester on her
staff during a "...hearing of the House Legislative Branch
Appropriations Subcommittee, Wasserman Schultz worried that prices of
meals in House restaurants are getting so high that aides are being
'priced out' of a good meal." See the link to learn how outrageous her
comments are: http://www.breitbart.com/Big-Government/2013/03/21/wasserman-schultz-my-aides-cant-afford-good-meals
Despite "problems" like
Wasserman-Schults cites, what is really going on? Somehow the
Administration still finds ways to spend money like nobody's business.
For example, just a few days ago during his visit to the Middle East the
President announced that the US Government had enough money to give
$500 million to the terrorist-let Palestinian Authority. That after
already giving Egypt's Muslim Brotherhood-led government a mere $250
million.
That is, my friends, money he
takes from us to give to terrorist led governments. How does that make
you feel? Especially after the President made his appeal for all
Americans to share in the sacrifices sequester has imposed. Puts
Wasserman-Schultz's "bleeding heart" into perspective, doesn't it. She
complains about the price of lunch being to high for her well paid staff
while millions of Americans making much less struggle just to make ends
meet. Shows us what her priorities are, doesn't it. Did you know that
10 of the most affluent counties in the country surround Washington,
D.C.. Where do they get all that money? From us, that's who.
Meanwhile the government wastes
hundreds of billions of dollars on all manner of ill-conceived programs
both domestic and foreign. Don't believe me? Check out all three pages
of the examples detailed at this link: http://www.judicialwatch.org/blog/category/wasteful-spending/
Do not believe one word out of
the mouths of those who bemoan the damage sequester has/will cause.
Here is a fact offered by the Heritage Foundation: "Federal spending
will explode from $3.6 trillion to $6 trillion over the next 10 years,
but the much-maligned sequester will cut only 2.4 percent of this
spending." http://blog.heritage.org/2013/02/24/chart-of-the-week-sequestration-cuts-2-4-percent-out-of-total-spending/
And, bear in mind that under this
President's tenure (first four years) both the debt and deficit
skyrocketed more than at any time in our history. Check out these
charts which tell the story: http://www.heritage.org/federalbudget/debt-and-deficits
If this is not enough check out
more examples provided below of out of control government spending. All
at our expense. Think about that!!! Is that what you expect your
government to do with OUR money??? For example, do you think that
$400,000 of your money studying duck genitals is money well spent? No?
Well our government does. See last link for details.
