Of course it's hypocritical! He knows it too but since he's behind the safety of a keyboard he ignores his hypocrisy.

Ganging up on a Vet that just wants their say makes some of you look the real work you are to those of us who know your agenda.
Lol, please. That vet is a hypocrite & he knows it. I'm simply reminding him that he's on the public dole so to speak. He seems to forget that very obvious fact when he's whining about others receiving government handouts. He's the epitome of the receiver.

I've paid more taxes that you ever have, Dear. I paid double FICA as well. I paid both the employer contribution and the employee contribution. Have you ever paid double FICA? Have you ever paid taxes as the sole proprietor of a business? Bought a business license? Paid employer FICA tax contributions for employees? Have you ever paid investment taxes? Please, tell me some more about taxes and who pays them.

Take a walk by Arlington National Cemetery sometime and have a blast spitting on the graves there. That will make your day. It's folks like you that make the decent folks in this country sick to their stomachs.

Tell us what YOU have contributed. Tell us what you have received. I've been open about myself.

It's been on his back long enough already. 1/2 the people pay no federal income taxes. Everyone should pay some, even if it's $1.00.

You want the milk and honey but you want it at someone else's expense. You've already admitted that you are a coward.

Is Obama responsible? Of course he is commander in chief.

Here's what the sequester has done.

Defense spending


CBO projected in February 2013 that under the sequester and Budget Control Act caps:
  • Defense spending outlays (including "overseas contingency operations" for Iraq and Afghanistan) will be reduced from $670.3 billion in 2012 to approximately $627.6 billion in 2013, a decrease of $42.7 billion or 6.4%. Defense spending will fall again to $593.4 billion in 2014, a decrease of $34.2 billion or 5.5%.
Budget sequestration in 2013 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)

Who's responsible for the sequester? Republicans held the debt ceiling hostage to get the sequester cuts.


Debt ceiling:
  • The debt ceiling was increased by $400 billion immediately.
  • The President could request a further increase of $500 billion, which is subject to a congressional motion of disapproval which the President may veto, in which case a two-thirds majority in Congress would be needed to override the veto. This has been called the 'McConnell mechanism' after the Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, who first suggested it as part of another scheme.
Budget Control Act of 2011 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So it is complete hypocrisy for Republicans to blame Obama for these layoffs when they forced these budget cuts by holding the debt ceiling hostage. Just more political babble from the GOP. Honestly, I support these cuts, and no one should be whining about saving money.
And once again the troops' ballots will be lost or not counted for some reason or another because the military despises their Commander-in-Chief and wil;l vote Republican.
