The Sequester is Coming! The Sequester is Coming! Run for Your Lives! Oh.....Wait a Sec......

B.O. has thrown a world class hissy fit and closed down our White House to tours by school children.  Many of these school children have worked and saved for over a year to be able to afford the trip to Washington D.C and visit the buildings that they and the rest of us who are citizens own.  Many of them have sacrificed and worked many car washes and bake sales to get there.  Too bad, I guess.
B.O. has decided to make a lesson out of them and deny them access because of the gigantic, life threatening, horrendous sequester cuts of-wait for it- 2.4 percent!!!   
Can you cut almost three cents out of a dollar when you are broke and still manage to lead a productive life?  Does that three cents cause you untold hardship so that you cancel your electric service, and possible other things you have come to rely on?  Do you immediately starve? Do you stop buying medicine that you might need on a daily basis?  Or do you suck it up and realize that the three cents wasn't really needed in the first place?  Guess which one the husband of the yeti is trying?
I heard many many many horror stories of people who were going to be denied the very basics of life because Congress was actually following through on the sequestration that was Obama's very own idea!  I watched countless stories about people who would be homeless, dying on the street, or left for dead, simply because the Government had to tighten it's belt by almost three cents.
I read about those poor, underpaid, dedicated, hard working government leaches,  workers who were going to have to go without pay for one day a week every two weeks.  I lose sleep worrying about how they are going to live with 2.4 % less of the eighty grand that they are being paid. Oh the humanity!
And now we see that the next round of sequestration is geared up, and low and behold! The democrats and B.O. have both produced a budget!  It must be leap year, because that only happens every four years also!
Of course, B.O.'s budget was two months late (it's so hard to fit in work when you have to take a vacation every month) and if it follows the patter of his other "budgets" it won't even get one single vote on the floor, not even from his own party.
 The Senate on the other hand, have produced a budget that spouts more red than a Nightmare on Elm Street movie marathon.  The senate brain trusts who defecated this piece of crap have projected deficits of twelve TRILLION dollars!  That is trillion with a t. Are they drunk, stoned, stupid, or retarded?  I'm afraid it might be a lethal mixture of them all.
Call your elected officials and demand they they grow a pair and follow through on these miniscule cuts.  They are better than nothing, and at least they are a start.  If we keep going at this rate, we can have a balanced budget in 16 years.  Or they could pass Paul Ryan's budget, but ol' Harry will never even bring it up for a vote, so there you go.
Think about taking the Senate out of his incompetent hands in 2014.  You'll thank me later.
