'Dingy Harry' Reid said, Thursday, that those considered to be players in the state-controlled media actually have an "obligation" to lie to the American people. Well, he may not have said it exactly that way, but what he said is that they should be reporting that the Republicans are "unwilling to do what the American people want done" on looming automatic, across-the-board budget cuts. What 'Dingy' is obviously counting on here is the fact that the American people are simply too stupid to know what they want. With Democrats, including Barry, lying to them on what as become now pretty much of a daily basis, combined with the fact that the state-controlled media has been lying to them for years, maybe even decades, I suppose you can't blame the people for being a bit confused.
During some silly news conference on Capitol Hill held on the eve of implementation of the cuts, known on Capitol Hill, and just about everywhere else, as "The Sequester," a reporter asked old 'Dingy,' "Can you understand the frustration of the American people that you’re blaming the Republicans, the Republicans are blaming you and nobody is talking until the day that these cuts kick in?" To which 'Dingy' replied, "You know I read an editorial today, and I don’t know whether it was the Times or the Post, where the op-ed writer said, ‘You know, let’s call it the way it is. The Republicans aren’t willing to deal with the Democrats.'" So if I've got this right, it would now seem to be 'Dingy's' opinion that the media must now become even more of a propaganda machine than it already is.
The doddering old boob went on to say, "So all this stuff -- Democrats aren’t doing anything, Republicans aren’t doing anything --I believe that you guys have an obligation to report it the way it is." Going on to say, "This isn’t something that happened yesterday, we’ve been fighting this for a couple years," Reid added. "They’re unwilling to do what the American people want done. And it’s as simple as that." Prior to his comments, Reid proposed dealing with sequestration in a "balanced" way by closing tax loop holes on the wealthy and asking "millionaires to pay a little bit more." And then in taking a parting shot he said, "I really believe the American people deserve better than what the Republicans in this building believe is the right thing." What a freakin crock!
Ya know, it should be pretty easy for any rational human being, which naturally excludes just about every Democrat, to see that the reductions we're talking about amount to only 1.2 percent of the budget, or $44 Billion in spending for 2013. Now when considered by itself that does sound like a rather huge sum, but when placed in the context of a $3.6 Trillion dollar budget and a nearly $17 Trillion debt, it's a mere drop in the fiscal bucket. So while the people may be having a tough time sorting everything out, no thanks to the Democrats and their media allies, they're going to have to figure out a way to do so. Now they can believe that we don't have a spending problem and that all we need to do is to further tax the so-called 'wealthy', or they can put their grownup pants on, and realize that where Barry has us headed is not a good place.
