The dirty little secret the House Republicans don't want you to know.

The Progressive Caucus has put forward a plan which of course has no possible way of being introduced because it is filled with things the House Republicans hate. No, that is not the dirty little secret. The secret is that the Progressive Caucus has also put forward a very simple second plan. One the House Republican's don't want anyone to know. One that could be passed and would totally eliminate the universally hated problems of the sequestrate which House Republicans overwhelmingly passed. The Progressive Caucus plan could be implemented at any time. It's a one line bill that would cancel the sequester in it's entirety. A repeal the sequester bill.

Now why would House Republicans want to hide this very simple solution? Why, because THEY want the sequester to go into effect. They simply don't want the blame for it's universally know horrible effects.

Here, let me fix it for you:

"The Progressive Caucus has put forward a plan which of course has no possible way of being introduced because it is filled with things that are bad for the economy, the country, and the people".

Why wouldn't Obama want the sequester to happen? It was his idea, he was the one who convinced Reid to put it in, and he was the one who said he would veto any attempt to do away with it.

I say drop 2% from the budget. Oh, forgot, they don't have a budget anyway.

It's amazing that the Obama Administration is releasing CRIMINALS BEFORE the cuts even happen.

DarknLadyJedi,

You really do but that shit. So sad. So pathetic.

Yes, a proposal to delay disaster and give time to come up with better solutions, agreed to by House Republican leadership, promoted by House Republican leadership, passed overwhelmingly by House Republicans,

I wonder what you would agree to or propose if a bunch of malignant morons willing to destroy the economy and the American middle class put a gun to your head? No, I guess you would just let them pull the trigger and blow out your brains. At least that is consistent with your posts.

Watch for Bob Woodward, a long time supporter of Obama to receive threats from the White House and left media.

Last week, Bob Woodward published an opinion piece in the left leaning Washington Post - where he is an associate editor - saying the administration was "wrong" to blame the cuts on Republicans.

That drew retorts from White House press secretary Jay Carney, who in posts on Twitter and later in comments to reporters blamed the budget stalemate on Republican opposition to including increased revenues in any deal to replace the cuts.

The $85 billion across-the-board budget cuts were mandated by Congress and the White House as part of the August 2011 deal to avoid a government default. The reductions are split between defense spending and domestic programs.

Woodward, who first gained fame in the 1970s from exposing the Watergate scandal during the administration of President Richard Nixon, wrote a detailed account in his 2012 book, "The Price of Politics," of the August 2011 deal that led to the cuts.

On Wednesday he attacked Obama for drawing national security into the budget debate.

"So we now have the president going out (saying) 'Because of this piece of paper and this agreement, I can't do what I need to do to protect the country.' That's a kind of madness that I haven't seen in a long time," Woodward told MSNBC on Wednesday.

Bilbo, you should check your timelines. Even the White House is now saying that the sequester won't end the world. And Woodward pretty much proved that the White House came up with the sequester and pushed it, not the GOP.

Keep buying that it's all on Obama and the Congress had nothing to do with it shit. It took ALL parties to put it in place. Chief of Staff of the Army, Gen Ray Odierno has been making the rounds and he totally contradicts your self imposed cloudy vision. He says the biggest problem is that he can't transfer funds from one category to another.

It appears that Dildo will continue to drink milk from Obama's tit - he doesn't really know what the sequester is, does, or the actual impact of it.

Most of the cuts won't even happen until April, if the Demcorats don't change their spending mantra.

Most government agencies have to give 30 days notice before laying off workers, so that means sometime in April before there will be any real impact.

And then there is this - Obama claiming that the Sequester is a good thing: The Obama White House described the bipartisan debt deal that included sequestration as "a win for the economy and budget discipline." The Obama administration described sequestration specifically as a "strong enforcement mechanism to make all sides come together."

And then there is the fact that one of Obama's own advisers is the person that created the idea and language for the Sequester.

Another uniformed voter. :?

Obama is the one that insisted the cuts come from the military rather than other areas that wouldn't effect our National Security. Don't you uniformed voters feel it strange that a cut in the increased budget of only 2% would result in the military furlough of 800,000? There is no explaination other than Obama wants to punish American for not giving him the addtional 2% increase he wants...there is no other explaination, even a 5 year old child would ask Obama to explain how that can be.

I noticed that you didn't comment on the FACT that Obama created the Sequester as an attack, and that Obama nor the Democrats have passed a budget in 4+ years, and that Obama and the Democrats, when they held the Majority, did nothing about controlling spending, balancing the budget, etc...

Democrats are Obstructionists being lead by the biggest Obstructionist - Odumbass.
