Sequester Part II - Crying Wolf, a New Art Form

President Obama speaking to 6th graders.  Maybe he believes
the American people are no smarter than 6th graders and have
no clue how a budget works.

Well here it comes.  This morning's Laredo Morning Times reports that we can expect "peak" wait times at the bridges to be up to "two to four hours," and holiday wait times to be "five to six hours" long.  Even our local US Congressman, Henry Cuellar is spouting the official line, that sequester will hit everyone from small business to schools.

Folks, I ask you, have you had to make any budgetary adjustments over the last four or five years, with the food, gasoline, electric, sewer, and water prices increases we have seen?  Did the tax increase of about 2% that hit most of us on Jan. 1 cause you to change your budget?  Maybe not for some of you, but I guarantee that most of you had to make some kind of adjustment.  Maybe cut out a Starbucks, or maybe a fancy lunch once or twice a week.  One less shirt or pair of pants bought this month.

Yet, our President and his minions, cannot for the life of them think that the federal government can cut any money from their budget.  NONE.  These folks are so self centered that they think taking a dime from them will result in the end of democracy as we know it. (Dem's are ending democracy in other ways)  And to prove that point, the federal government  under the direction of the President of the United States, have been instructed to make sure that these minuscule budget cuts will hurt the American people where ever, and when ever possible.

The NY Times reported that an administration email has been sent to a federal agencies instructing them to make sure that the sequester cuts "are as painful as the President said they would be."

Friends, in my entire life (over 50+ years), never have I seen a president try to punish the people of this country to make a political point.  How can Henry Cuellar, or any Democrat agree that the American people need to be punished in order to prove that the federal government cannot do what you, as an American citizen have been asked to do in these tough financial times?

I am sickened by this childish behavior.  There is no excuse.
