Our Dear Beloved Leader, Barack Hussein Obama, on Saturday, in calling on the US Congress to end the "reckless" and "dumb" budget cuts known as the sequester, and to adopt a plan of "smarter" cuts to fuel economic growth, spewed nothing but pure propaganda. Personally, I thought this little 'demand' of his was a bit odd, since this whole notion of a sequester was his idea in the first place! And I'm kinda curious about something else too, what exactly is a dumb budget cut? I assume it would be any budget cut that Barry is opposed to, I mean, I doubt he would ever admit to being in favor of cuts that he considered as being "dumb", right? Barry's idiotic little weekly rant came after Congress, on Friday, overwhelming approved a bill putting furloughed air traffic controllers back on the job, thus undoing one of the most high-profile effects of the $85 billion in automatic budget cuts that took effect March 1 and hit federal spending across the board that comprise Barry's sequestration. High profile because Barry made them that way.
Barry perpetuated is propaganda campaign by saying, "This week, the sequester hurt travelers, who were stuck for hours in airports and on planes, and rightly frustrated by it. And, maybe because they fly home each weekend, the members of Congress who insisted these cuts take hold finally realized that they actually apply to them too." He continued by saying, "Republicans claimed victory when the sequester first took effect, and now they've decided it was a bad idea all along. Well, first, they should look at their own budget. If the cuts they propose were applied across the board, the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration) would suffer cuts three times deeper." According to Barry, Congress on Friday "passed a temporary fix. A Band-Aid. But these cuts are scheduled to keep falling across other parts of the government that provide vital services for the American people. And we can't just keep putting Band-Aids on every cut. It's not a responsible way to govern." Come on, what does Barry honestly know about governing?
Barry did his best to play up his rhetoric of "dumb" cuts by making the claim that there were plenty of people, including low-income children being cut from government education programs and seniors dependant on food programs, who are suffering from the "reckless" automatic budget cuts. He said, "I hope members of Congress will find the same sense of urgency and bipartisan cooperation to help the families still in the crosshairs of these cuts." He then went on to say something that was absolutely hysterical in urging the legislature to adopt his proposed budget, which "replaces the next several years of these dumb cuts with smarter cuts; reforms our tax code to close wasteful special interest loopholes; and invests in things like education, research, and manufacturing that will create new jobs right now." Barry's Republican adversaries have rightly accused his administration of "needlessly" disrupting thousands of passengers for political gain in the dragged-out battle over mandatory budget cuts.
Look, I think it's pretty safe to say, here, that there has been more than enough evidence presented that makes it pretty clear, that Barry has, and remains so, quite determined in his efforts to make sure the American people feel as much pain as possible because of what amounts to a rather miniscule cut to the federal budget. And let's be serious, you'd have to be a complete moron, which Barry is counting on, not to be able to recognize that fact. But despite that mountain of evidence, the White House has continued to claim otherwise, pointing the finger of guilt at the Republicans. Like I said before, it was Barry and his cadre of political thugs who devised and approved the budget sequester, and it's now that same crowd who now appears to be quite purposeful in their efforts to make it far worse that it ought to be. Hey, I've got a better idea. How about we STOP blowing money on dumb things? The following are just a few of the completely outrageous ways that the U.S. government is wasting our money:
1. The National Science Foundation has given $384,949 to Yale University to do a study on "Sexual Conflict, Social Behavior and the Evolution of Waterfowl Genitalia". Try not to laugh, but much of this research involves examining and measuring the reproductive organs of male ducks.
2. The IRS spent $60,000 on a film parody of "Star Trek" and a film parody of "Gilligan’s Island". Internal Revenue Service employees were the actors in the two parodies, so as you can imagine the acting was really bad.
3. The National Institutes of Health has given $1.5 million to Brigham and Women’s Hospital in Boston, Massachusetts to study why "three-quarters" of lesbians in the United States are overweight and why most gay males are not.
4. The National Institutes of Health has also spent $2.7 million to study why lesbians have more "vulnerability to hazardous drinking".
5. The U.S. government is giving sixteen F-16s and 200 Abrams tanks to the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt even though the new president of Egypt, Mohammed Morsi (a member of the Muslim Brotherhood), constantly makes statements such as the following…
"Dear brothers, we must not forget to nurse our children and grandchildren on hatred towards those Zionists and Jews, and all those who support them"
6. During 2012, the salaries of Barack Obama’s three climate change advisers combined came to a grand total of more than $370,000.
7. Overall, 139 different White House staffers were making at least $100,000during 2012, and there were 20 staffers that made the maximum of $172,200.
8. Amazingly, U.S. taxpayers spend more than 1.4 billion dollars a year on the Obamas. Meanwhile, British taxpayers only spend about 58 million dollars on the entire royal family.
9. During 2012, $25,000 of federal money was spent on a promotional tour for the Alabama Watermelon Queen.
10. The U.S. government spent $505,000 "to promote specialty hair and beauty products for cats and dogs" in 2012.
11. NASA spends close to a million dollars a year developing a menu of food for a manned mission to Mars even though it is being projected that a manned mission to Mars is still decades away.
12. During 2012, the federal government spent 15 million dollars to help Russian weapons institutes recruit nuclear scientists.
13. Over the past 15 years, a total of approximately $5.25 million has been spent on hair care services for the U.S. Senate.
14. The U.S. government spent 27 million dollars to teach Moroccans how to design and make pottery in 2012.
15. At a time when we have an epidemic of unemployment in the United States, the U.S. Department of Education is spending $1.3 million to "reduce linguistic, academic, and employment barriers for skilled and low-skilled immigrants and refugees, and to integrate them into the U.S. workforce and professions."
16. The federal government still sends about 20 million dollars a year to the surviving family members of veterans of World War I, even though World War I ended 94 years ago.
17. The U.S. government is spending approximately 3.6 million dollars a year to support the lavish lifestyles of former presidents such as George W. Bush and Bill Clinton.
18. During fiscal 2012, the National Science Foundation gave researchers at Purdue University $350,000. They used part of that money to help fund a study that discovered that if golfers imagine that a hole is bigger it will help them with their putting.
19. The U.S. government is giving hundreds of millions of dollars to the Palestinian Authority every year.
20. Federal agencies have purchased a total of approximately 2 billion rounds of ammunition over the past 10 months. It is claimed that all of this ammunition is needed for "training purposes".
21. During 2012, the National Science Foundation spent $516,000 on the creation of a video game called "Prom Week" which apparently simulates "all the social interactions of the event."
22. If you can believe it, $10,000 of U.S. taxpayer money was actually used to purchase talking urinal cakes up in Michigan.
23. When Joe Biden and his staff took a trip to London back in February, the hotel bill cost U.S. taxpayers $459,388.65.
24. Joe Biden and his staff also stopped in Paris for one night back in February. The hotel bill for that one night came to $585,000.50.
25. If you can believe it, close to 15,000 retired federal employees are currently collecting federal pensions for life worth at least $100,000 annually. That list includes such names as Newt Gingrich, Bob Dole, Trent Lott, Dick Gephardt and Dick Cheney.
26. The U.S. Department of Agriculture has spent $300,000 to encourage Americans to eat caviar.
27. The National Institutes of Health recently gave $666,905 to a group of researchers that is conducting a study on the benefits of watching reruns on television.
28. The National Science Foundation has given 1.2 million dollars to a team of "scientists" that is spending part of that money on a study that is seeking to determine whether elderly Americans would benefit from playing World of Warcraft or not.
29. The National Institutes of Health recently gave $548,731 to a team of researchers that concluded that those that drink heavily in their thirties also tend to feel more immature.
30. The National Science Foundation recently spent $30,000 on a study to determine if "gaydar" actually exists. This is the conclusion that the researchers reached at the end of the study….
But nope, we can't do that! So rather that cut any of the above spending, that is obviously nothing but wasteful to the extreme, Barry's brilliant team of hoodlums decided to instead, cancel public tours of the White House, release illegal immigrants from detention centers, cut airport security screenings, slash animal and plant health inspection expenses, and make other equally dire-sounding cuts. The Washington Times actually uncovered an internal Department of Agriculture email in which an official ordered a subordinate not to implement sequester cuts intelligently but rather to ensure that they are irrationally across-the-board. The message was clear: The public needs to feel the pain. So when Barry starts talking about the need to be making smarter cuts, that's not what he really means. As is usually the case, whenever dealing this lying sack of shit, he's the one making the dumb cuts and trying to blame it all on the opposition. Such is the rather warped philosophy of Barry "Almighty."
