Obama to GOP Congress: Don’t Jeopardize Our National Security
Obama made a budgetary threat regarding DHS. If the Congress doesn't fund this, then DHS will continue working at their jobs without pay.
Wait a second - isn't that slavery?
I guess BHO is not down for the struggle.

I support Congress in telling the President to halt his actions in telling DHS what NOT to do - their jobs! Of course the best way to do this would be to impeach and convict him.
Real national security would be security against un-called-for government.
If you want to argue that the Department of Homeland Security should be focusing on keeping us safe from foreign threats, I agree. Couldn't really tell from the rest of your post where you were going.
Just another example, and I'm pleased you caught it!
From the article:
"Obama also insisted that the budget sequester must go, calling it “mindless across-the-board cuts.” "
Revisionism at it's finest! The sequester was crafted by the WH, and forced upon Congress to get the Budget Control Act of 2011 passed. The only DNA on this can be traced to the Obama administration.
Now, he demands the end of “mindless across-the-board cuts.”
My concern is only on 'the mindless across-the-board spending increases'....
What a cosmic joke is this administration!
The only thing that drives Communists is greed. "I need more, give me more, give more more! $4 trillion was enough, but that was last year! To fully achieve what I deem is necessary for you folks, this year I need $5 trillion more."
Whatever you do, don't pinch yourself...it will break your heart!
I know I could write a more effective budget and so could you.
p.s. I can see through the veneer.
Hijacker
Obscenity
Way neat idea!
+1 for that, alone!
“I’m not going to accept a budget that locks in sequestration,” he said."
I really disagree with this. Mindless across-the-board cuts are a good thing. Everyone says we need to cut but not the really important programs. Everyone thinks different things are important, so nothing happens. In a country where people agree we need to cut gov't spending but can't agree what to cut, we need *mindless across-the-board cuts*.
Unless I am mistaken, the 'cuts' are actually reductions in the scheduled increases. There is still government growth...just not as much.
The pyramid will only work as long as there are new people buying into it.
What I'd love to see is an Amendment that states very clearly that Congress shall make no law requiring an expenditure of funds which extend beyond their own terms of service.
What it in effect would do is force Congress to continually re-ratify legislation already on the books to prevent it from automatically expiring - and taking their spending authority with it. All Congress would have to do to defund Social Security is refuse to re-ratify it even once every two years. There wouldn't be these huge perpetual entitlement programs because as soon as the other party took over, they'd choose not to renew the program.
I know I and critics of socialism say that. It's weird to hear someone defending a program by saying the system only works with a new supply of people putting money in. They're accidentally defining a Ponzi scheme.
The Baby Boomers are pushing 70 years old, and with the health care field quickly becoming Federal workers per se, the strain on SS could be easing up sooner rather than later. Death panels will play their part by denying procedures...all under the umbrella of necessary cost cutting.
I have always heard that the boom in babies came right after WWII...when the returning soldiers had a lot of 'catching up' to do. The math gives you around 69, or so.
You must be one of those Flower Childs! ;-)
And much good it has done us.
This argument, BTW, was one made Democrats critical of Republican plans to cut Medicare. Republicans made the exact same argument a few years ago. This is when I realized the whole D/R ideological divide is mostly a sham.
Many, for sure, will. Not all will have that option, or will get discouraged dealing with the angst. People that age have a lower threshold for mental anguish...I am testimonial to that!
I have read several articles published in medical journals that state that a large number of doctors nearing retirement age, will go ahead and close their practices early, rather than become 'government workers' under socialized medicine.
A lot of hospital/clinic beds will disappear as faith based facilities are given the choice of break their own principles or close. Many will close reducing that resource.
My WAG is that once things settle out more, the total resources for medical care will be reduced somewhere between 1/4 and 1/3 from driving out the faith based providers.
Which is has a double impact in my area, the best facilities for care in my state tend to be the faith based ones.
And B.OB, Ph.D. (Piled Higher and Deeper) [His Initials changed to protect perfectly innocent body odor] can't be serious with that complaint, he hasn't left any national or border security to jeopardize.
Creep-in-Chief does for this country!
Such is the jeopardizing essence of his very existence!
I can't wait for that walking talking cancer to finally wave bye-bye with Ovomit's smiling garbage for a "healthy" school lunch at his side.
Up until now, that thought had not occurred to me. Welcome me as a newbie to your nightmare.
Not to mention that Hillary would be older than Moses in 2020!
Obama doesn't like the freedom America was built on. He doesn't want people to be free to choose for themselves how they want to live, with whom they should do business, etc. He wants power and will stop at nothing short.
I also didn't know that he paid any attention to the constitution.
It doesn't take a Sherlock Holmes to figure out that at least one of his former students would be bragging about this all over the internet.

Wouldn't the U.N. look good anywhere else...like Stockholm?
I have an unnamed source in the WH that tells me that Barry is secretly stumping for Jeb Bush. Obama is hoping that he might stretch another 4 years out of his BUSH DID IT! bumper sticker and bobble head line.
