Ah, take three zeros off that number and you would be correct.
Only off by a factor of a thousand times!!! Very typical for a critic.
Ok your right. $250 million. How many jobs is that. Yep Obama redistribution economy... taking our money and giving it to other countries then going on an Drama Obama campaign. And republicans gave increase taxes. Obama will always have his hands in our pockets stealing our money.
What ever? When you get a freebie from the government it is because someone else "worked" and paid taxes to the government. When the government takes too much money from working people it becomes stealing.
Every time you buy something with your welfare check think about the man, woman, even teenager who worked to make that money but had to give it to you instead.
Does this president think we are too stupid to remember what he says, from one day to the next??
“This is not going to be an apocalypse, as some have said,” Obama told reporters, minutes after saying that “not everyone will feel the pain of these cuts right away. The pain though will be real.”
Well, well, just who were these people who over hyped the sequester? Here is a list of what “some have said:”
“Put simply, the automatic budget reduction mandated by sequestration would be disruptive and destructive to our nation’s security and economy,” Department of Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano said in a White House press briefing last week. “It would negatively affect the mission readiness and capabilities of the men and women on our frontlines. It would undermine the significant progress we’ve made over the past 10 years to build the nation’s preparedness and resiliency.”
Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood predicted major disruption to the nation’s flight system. “Flights to major cities like New York, Chicago, and San Francisco and others could experience delays of up to 90 minutes during peak hours because we have fewer controllers on staff,” LaHood told the White House press corps. “Delays in these major airports will ripple across the country. Cuts to budgets mean preventative maintenance and quick repair of runway equipment might not be possible, which could lead to more delays. And once airlines see the potential impact of these furloughs, we expect that they will change their schedules and cancel flights.”
And of course who can forget the apocalyptic doom predicted by 0bama himself almost two weeks ago:
“It will eviscerate job-creating investments in education and energy and medical research…. Emergency responders like the ones who are here today — their ability to help communities respond to and recover from disasters will be degraded. Border Patrol agents will see their hours reduced. FBI agents will be furloughed. Federal prosecutors will have to close cases and let criminals go. Air traffic controllers and airport security will see cutbacks, which means more delays at airports across the country. Thousands of teachers and educators will be laid off. Tens of thousands of parents will have to scramble to find childcare for their kids. Hundreds of thousands of Americans will lose access to primary care and preventive care like flu vaccinations and cancer screenings…. So these cuts are not smart. They are not fair. They will hurt our economy. They will add hundreds of thousands of Americans to the unemployment rolls. This is not an abstraction — people will lose their jobs. The unemployment rate might tick up again.”
