41 Billion Reasons Not to Sweat the Sequester: 2013 Cuts Are $44 Billion, Not $85 Billion. - Hit & Run : Reason.com

Mark Levin exposes a WASTELAND of govt overspending while Obama LIES to your face saying we can’t cut spending » The Right Scoop -

Second link is a must listen to of Levin exposing Obama's lies. First link is an article breaking it down.

Obama is a liar. The media repeats his lies. Now imagine if the media did its job and exposed Obama for the lying, coward, fraud, scare tactic using dirtbag that he really is...... He would be forced to do the right things. But of course we will never have an honest media. And liberals will always cover for people like Obama, even though most of you libs know Obama is full of it. You are just to gutless to give a damn.

Quote:
The first thing to note is that the $85 billion figure that gets bandied about overstates this year's cuts due to sequestration by about $40 billion. According to the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) in its February 2013 report on the budget outlook, "Discretionary outlays will drop by $35 billion and mandatory spending will be reduced by $9 billion this year as a direct result of those procedures [sequestration]; additional reductions in outlays attributable to the cuts in 2013 funding will occur in later years."


You got that? When President Obama scaremongers about national parks closing and TSA lines getting longer - and when Republicans ***** and moan about the military having to set up bake sales to buy bombers - they are already misstating basic facts. The sequester will slice $44 billion off this year's budget, not $85 billion.


CBO figures that total spending in FY2013 will come to around $3.55 trillion (see table 1-1), or roughly the same as FY2012, when it came to $3.53 trillion. In 2014, assuming the sequester happens, CBO figures total spending will be $3.6 trillion before it jacks up considerably to $3.8 trillion in 2015 and then up to over $4 trillion in 2016. As Taylor's chart (above, right) shows, this isn't that very much different at all than what would happen absent sequestration. Taylor favors keeping the sequester but add the sensible proviso that the president and the Congress should allow all affected agencies to the flexibility "to adjust their budgets within the overall sequester totals." That blunts the criticism that the sequestration is itself too blunt an instrument.
Again, I highly recommend both reading the article and listening to Levin. Ignore the liberals who will come here and take baseless cheap shots at Levin. They dont want to hear the truth and they dont want you to.

I find it odd that you would call someone else a liar.

You mean that the right-wing, extremist media sources you seem to worship are part of the Obama media-control conspiracy? Sound sto me as if you also think our government should be a dictatorship and not a democracy.

Of course he/she can't. Notice the random injection of race as a diversion.


Swing and a miss.

Like every other spending cut in DC. Not actually spending cuts but cuts in spending increases. But according to the left the world will now end.............again. So when this goes through which it will becuase congress will be on vacation when will the world end next time I guess is the question. Oh and of course it will all be the republicans fault too. Also if anybody happens to question dear leader they will be called racists then also I'm sure by the swooners.

Well, ignoring the name calling, let's take a look at what the Government is saying. According to the news today, the defense department is saying that if the sequester occurs that 800,000 civilian jobs woiuld be lost to meet the sequester requirement.

OK so let's look at some numbers.

If the average annual salary for those 800,000 employees is $50,000, then that adds up to 40 billion. If the average is 100,000 then that number is 80 billion.

The President says the sequester is 85 billion. Anyone else able to do the math and see the logic? The President is LYING. The Pentagon is LYING. Government LIES all the time.

Add to that the constant threats to fire police, fire, teachers, as if those are the only people who work for Government, is nothing more than extortion.

I have an idea, Mr President. How about we fire all your staff, and all the staff of Congress? Then you can come back to us in a couple of years and tell us how that is working out.

PS There comes a time when the wealthy privileged class becomes SO rich, SO powerful, that they see themselves as gods, and the rest of us as slaves. At that time there will be some who will serve those gods as priests and house slaves, thinking that they have a route to immortality for themselves, blaming the slaves for their inability to become gods too. How wrong they will find themselves ... but by then it will be too late.

When we started talking about this the figure bandied around was 100 billion and then we went down to 85 billion. And now after all the whining we are at 44 billion? It stinks to high heavens but the {R} should take it, it is the only thing they will get.

Feds just came up with 50 billion out of the blue to pay for Sandy cleanup. Now everybody has to be fired because this nonsene that has been sitting on a shelf for 1.5 years has come to a head. Anybody who believes this nonsense must have believed that old folks weren't gonna be starving in the streets like they screamed during the last "crisis". I guess liberals believe it.
