It is amazing how much the govt supposedly does with such a small fraction of the budget. Makes you wonder how they squader the rest of it.

So if the $86 billion in cuts being proposed pays for meat introspection, detaining illegal immigrants, coast guard patrols and the dozens of other things that will apparently no longer be possible wtf is the rest of the multi trillion dollar budget for?

Time to cut 3 trillion out of the budget. only this 86 billion is important.

Stop Spamming OP. And this is good news though since we need to cut welfare

 

[Jaskalas]

By all means lets make the families of our heroes wait longer.

This fear-mongering over a 2% cut, which still leaves a net INCREASE in spending is exactly why the Feds are loaning about $85 billion a month, why prices are rising across the nation, and why we have a $16.5 trillion debt.

Cause you lying !@#$% claim it'll rain cats and dogs, fire and brimstone if we do anything but push full steam ahead on tax and spending. To hell the government largess and its pushers. There is nothing common nor civil between us if it's the end of the world to compromise. The sequester isn't enough to even do anything to our debt. It's still going to be $22-$23 trillion next decade. Reduce that by $1 trillion. Big whoop.

It takes far more than this to resolve the fiscal crisis.

Oh sure, increasing spending by slightly less than what was planned is just going to create havoc! Run for your lives!

I can't believe there are fools who actually fall for this crap. Actually, yes, I can believe it.

That is what I am asking. And lets not forget spending is still increasing. Just not as fast as before.

You know OP... food inspections were fine in 2011.... by cutting the budget by $85 billion, the feds are operating at the same level as in 2011. Where was the apocalypse then?

Huh? What says you?

chirp chirp

Meat plant shutdowns inevitable in budget cuts: USDA



The automatic cuts, also called sequestration, are due to take effect on Friday because Congress and the White House are unable to agree on other ways to reduce the federal deficit. USDA says the cuts would force it to lay off its 8,400 meat inspectors for 15 days to produce the savings ordered for its food safety agency.


Early this month, the White House raised the prospect of a mass layoff, which would shutter the meat industry for two weeks. Plants cannot operate without USDA inspectors.


Stores and restaurants could run short of meat temporarily.


Up to one-third of the USDA's 100,000 employees may be affected by furloughs. The USDA says the cuts would deny food aid to 600,000 pregnant women, new mothers and infants and also force closure of hundreds of Forest Service campgrounds, picnic areas and visitors' centers during the spring and summer.

As much as I think that the sequestration will have a bigger effect than a lot of people on this site think it will, your endless crying wolf gets old.

Stop paying any cable/internet/wireless bills and sell your computer and you'll be able to afford some beef, and not post stupid threads, it's a win/win that will benefit everyone.

Frickin Nazis. Always terrorizing the populations through budgets. The solution is simple: start by firing the head of the USDA, and move right on down the hierarchy until the budget is met.
