Labor Groups Rally Against Sequester at State Capitol

Labor groups are rallying at the state capitol against the so-called "sequester," the automatic cuts in federal spending that are set to take effect Friday night because the President and Congress have been unable to reach a deal on a long-term budget.

The truth is starting to surface now, these are all cuts the Osama administration and Osama himself endorsed but now want to make it look like the GOP is the evil scapegoat. Just more BS from the chicken-$--t socialist muslim

I don't know who this idiot is that the state run media interviewed, but here is the truth. The sequester is only a REDUCTION IN THE AMOUNT THAT THE GOVT. WAS GOING TO INCREASE SPENDING. For those of you who don't understand, we will still spend more money than we did last year and the deficit will rise above 16.6 trillion dollars even with the so called cuts. These democrats will stop at nothing. I am tired of obama and his ilk crying wolf every time they manufacture a crisis situation for their followers. Cutting 84 billion dollars out of 3.8 trillion is like you and I not buying a piece of chewing gum out of our monthly budget.

The 'cuts' are actually cuts in the increases. the budget (which this administration has not yet passed in 5 years) isn't shrinking; it's like telling you 'you are getting a 2% raise - no - wait - it's only a .5% raise.' there is no cut - just less of a raise. (the raise part comes from the tax increase to the 'rich' imposed in January)

Well, not hurting me so far but I don't get the free stuff. My kids weren't allowed to attend Head Start, weren't allowed to attend the gradeschool just blocks from our house because they weren't bused in from the city, never received free lunches - because I worked too much, I guess.
