It was designed not to make sense so that it would maximize the pressure on the legislative and executive branches to negotiate a different solution. Given time, it may well do so. If not, let the chips fall where they may. Originally Posted by TexTushHogJesus, TTH. Do you really believe the bullshit you post? The sequester was a game. A cut in the increase, not an actual cut.
The point of the post was not to complain about the Obama dog walker, you mindless morons. It was to show the hypocrisy of the Obama administration in their allocation of sequester cuts. Sure, cut out White House tours, air traffic controllers for small airports, the WH Easter Egg hunt, and other things, but when it comes to Obama's perks and lavish lifestyle, there are no cuts.The example used to make the point of your post failed on every level.
I know they need a groundskeeper, who may walk the dog, but seriously, at the expense of other programs that may need the money more? I'd like to see the entire budget cut at least by 30%, if not more, but let's start with the least essential. Overtime for walking the dog should be the first to go. Originally Posted by CuteOldGuy

The point is to make the decrease in the rate of increase as painful and maladept as possible to encourage anomalous results to force people on both sides to reach a less painful compromise.

In a normal family Barack, Malia or Sasha would be out there walking the dogif he was spending time with the dog wouldn't you be complaining that he was spending too much time with the dog... instead of answering phones
I do have some problems with other things like the 24 hour cooks to make toast for Obama at 3 AM (when he should be answering that phone). Obama is a millionaire, so why is he taking a paycheck? Originally Posted by JD Barleycorn
