In what was nothing if not a crystal clear of example of just how Barry "Almighty" views this 'sequester' idea of his, there was a recently issued, and rather stern, denial of an appeal for flexibility in lessening the sequester’s effects. A response to an email this week appeared to direct officials in Washington, that because it already had promised that cuts would be devastating, to follow through on those threats. No leeway will be permitted nor tolerated. In an email sent Monday by Charles Brown, an official with the Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS), yes I guess we have one of those, office in Raleigh, N.C., Mr. Brown asked "if there was any latitude" in how to spread the sequester cuts across the region to lessen the impacts on fish inspections. Needless to say, the response was rather terse to say the least.
The response was short, to the point, and rather heavy-handed to say the least, which prompted Mr. Brown to say that he was discouraged by officials in Washington, who gave him this reply: "We have gone on record with a notification to Congress and whoever else that ‘APHIS would eliminate assistance to producers in 24 states in managing wildlife damage to the aquaculture industry, unless they provide funding to cover the costs.’ So it is our opinion that however you manage that reduction, you need to make sure you are not contradicting what we said the impact would be." So it would appear to be fairly obvious that all of those who have said, repeatedly, that this is not about partisan politics have pretty much been lying. And that lying, it would seem, goes all the way to the top. The very top, to our Liar-in Chief, Barack Hussein Obama!
To which Rep. Tim Griffin, a Republican from Arkansas responded to this little email by saying, "This email confirms what many Americans have suspected: The Obama administration is doing everything they can to make sure their worst predictions come true and to maximize the pain of the Sequester cuts for political gain." Mr. Brown the official who sent the email and who is the eastern regional director for wildlife services at APHIS, didn’t immediately return a call Tuesday afternoon seeking comment. He's probably been told to shut the Hell up! Anyway APHIS is an agency within the Agriculture Department, and on Tuesday department Secretary Tom Vilsack was challenged on the email at a House committee hearing by Rep. Kristi Noem, who said she hoped the department wouldn’t tie agencies’ hands.
And as is usually the case whenever dealing with anyone from this most corrupt of administrations, Mr. Vilsack, mostly likely lying through his teeth, said he hadn’t seen the email, he did go one to say that agencies are supposed to be trying to find ways to manage the impact of the cuts. "If we have flexibility, we’re going to try to use it to make sure we use sequester in the most equitable and least disruptive way," the secretary testified. "There are some circumstances, and we’ve talked a lot about the meat inspection, where we do not have that flexibility because there are so few accounts. The administration earlier had warned that supplies of beef, pork and poultry could drop this year because slaughterhouse inspectors will have to be furloughed, and under federal law meat can’t be processed without inspectors present.
As everybody should know, after all we've heard about it enough, $44 Billion in sequesters began last Friday and if you'll notice the word did not come to an end as foretold by Barry "Almighty." But even amid the cuts, that repeatedly descibed as being so dire, it that this silly APHIS agency is still hiring new employees as well as interns. Since Sunday the agency has posted 24 help-wanted ads including 22 student internships, one ad seeking a clerk in a New York office, and one ad was seeking, you're not gonna believe this, three "insect production workers" to grow bollworms in Phoenix. And Barry expected us to believe that there isn't $44 Billion that can be cut without civilization, as we know it, coming to and end. What a lying piece of sh!t this guy is. Are we just too stupid to see what's going on here?
