I gotta tell ya, I'm really getting tired of all of these screeching Democrats in Congress every time the subject of the sequester, or our spending problem, that they say isn't really a spending problem, or how the simple cure-all to all of our problems is to do nothing more than to raise taxes, comes up. If only we would raise taxes then ALL of our problems would simply go away and all would be right in the World. And this idiotic notion that it takes nothing more than to choose to disagree with Barry for one to be called a racist is nothing short of ludicrous. But that is what the Democrat Party has been reduced to, a bunch of screaming banshees. Everyday another wack job Democrat steps up to the microphone to decry these 'horrific spending cuts.
There seems to have been a rather dramatic increase in the intensity of their hysterics regarding their claims that civilization, as we have come to know it, will somehow meet an untimely end should the $44 Billion in spending cuts be allowed to take place. One of those crackpots who seems to be leading this pack of crazies is Donna Edwards, another Democrat who calls the People’s Republic of Maryland home, and who has been quite busy, of late, making some pretty wild, as well as unsubstantiated, claims. According to this dingbat, if the Barry-conceived sequester is allowed to become a reality it will mean that women who are victims of domestic violence will be "forced to stay in their homes with their abuser" at the "hands of the GOP."
The automatic across-the-board cuts, known as that much talked about sequester, are set to take effect on Friday, which would be today. It amounts to a 1.2% reduction in increased federal spending in 2013, or about $44 Billion out of $3.6 Trillion. Somehow this bonehead Edwards, calls the cuts a "Republicans failure," and said they are "taking a sledge hammer" to the nation’s domestic violence shelters and programs. "The harm is real," Edwards screeched. Someone possessing a little commonsense, and some brains, really needs to sit down with this moron and explain to her that what has brought us to this particular spot is the failure of her party to make the spending cuts that everybody knows need to be made!
But in doing what corrupt Democrats always do, the esteemed Ms. Edwards does nothing more than to pull bogus numbers out of what is essentially thin air and then expect us to take them as fact. Because according to this goof, "230,000 victims will be calling crisis hotlines and those calls will go unanswered. 230,000 calls to crisis hotlines around the country." She went on to say, "So can you imagine that in the middle of the night a woman is being battered, she has her two children, she wants to get to safety, she places a phone call to a hotline and that line goes unanswered." This would be funny if it wasn't so absurd. The only thing she accomplishes by such idiotic rhetoric is to make herself look like even more of a dope than she actually may be.
But, I guess, determined to make her point, she went on to say, "That’s what sequestration means to victims of domestic violence." Droning on she said, "So I think that this is shameful, we all do." Adding, "We also know that it can be stopped. And so here we are on a Thursday, set to go home for the weekend—first of all in America, working America doesn’t go home for the weekend on a Thursday. There’s time for us to stop this. The Republicans hold the gavel." I swear, have you ever heard anything more incoherent that the ranting of this obviously deranged kook? Ya know, if this loon is the absolute best that the folks of her district could come up with to represent them, they must be a pretty squirrelly bunch of people. Cause this bitch is flat out stupid!
And as she continued in her effort to put the entire weight of our budgetary mess upon the Republicans, she went on, "The Republicans have the ability to stop sequestration and the devastation to millions of women and children who are victims of domestic violence across this country." And on, "And it is really very shameful that they are going to go home this weekend without doing that." And on, "And so for the women who are forced to stay in their homes with their abuser because there’s no place to go, because shelters have been cut, because hotlines go unanswered, that is on the hands of the GOP here in the House of Representatives." I gotta tell you, whatever facility it is that Ms. Edwards escaped from most certainly has a rubber room laying empty.
Choosing to ignore completely the fact that taxes were already raised, and with no spending cuts made, Edwards went on to say that the solution to the sequester is to balance the "spending cuts with revenue." Edwards said $20 million in cuts will be made from programs funded by the Violence Against Women Act, as a result of the sequester. According to the Justice Department, however, the Office on Violence Against Women (OVW) operated on a budget of $412.5 million during fiscal year 2012, and has requested the same amount of funding for this fiscal year. The sequester would amount to a 4.5 percent cut to OVW. I'll tell you what has me pissed, it’s the fact that OVW has the outrageous budget of over $400 Million. That's absolutely insane!!!
I can't help but wonder where this crazy bitch was back when Barry first came up with the his sequester idea, and so many of her Democrat 'colleagues' thought it was such a shit hot idea. I don't recall hearing her saying anything then about how it might be a bad idea. Although I must admit I don't spend very much time trying to keep up with whatever it is that every mentally challenged member of Congress might be complaining about at any given time. But I do find it extremely hard to believe that somewhere in a massive $3.6 Trillion budget that there isn't AT LEAST, $44 Billion in waste. So when folks like Ms. Edwards here go off the deep end, as she has so hysterically done, they only succeed in further reducing what little credibility they may still possess.
