Today is a day that'll live in infamy. We officially cut 2.5% from the federal budget. Prayers to those who were affected by this disaster. And may God bless those furloughed Pentagon employees who had their 300k salaries reduced by 20%.

No, no, no.

You don't get it.

This is not a reduction in future spending.

It's a massive cut that will impact not only everyone in the U.S. but the ENTIRE WORLD. We'll probaby all starve to death before it's over.

Personally, I'm hoping the global warming wipes us out first. It would be more merciful.

If only the rich would pay their fair share. Greedy ****s.
