1. Thank God WIC got cut!

Poor women and infants are getting away with fucking murder. Cadillac-chauffeured princes and princesses.

Boehner needs a Medal of Freedom, stat!

I hope they get those handicapped swine in the near future. It's the adult thing to do.

[Shiver]

17. Now, while I agree with you here

As a grocery store cashier, WIC checks are among the most annoying things to ring up. Half the people don't know what they're supposed to get with them, and they take so damn long that lines just build up behind them....

Not that I think they should be cut; they help a lot of people. I just find them personally annoying to deal with. Then again, I find food stamps, piles of coupons, people who forget their wallets in their cars, and people who insist on exact change and spend five minutes digging through their purses for that last penny they KNOW is in there annoying as well.

Really, customers in general just annoy me. :rant:

[fasttense]

2. And the appeasement continues.n/t

[PA Democrat]

3. The bloated Pentagon

I am aghast.

[polichick]

4. Proof that Dems have bought the fake narrative...

All you have to do is close half of our 800+ military bases, make corporations pay taxes and rescind tax breaks for the top 5% - we'd be swimming in money.

[and-justice-for-all]

6. +100000000000000000000000000

[frazzled]

7. These are the Republican-proposed cuts

For christ sake, Democrat-bashing seems to be a full-time job for some here, whether the facts support it or not.

[polichick]

10. Sure, but they come after the president signaled he was willing to go after...

...a lot of these things.

If Dems stood up and said we'll close half of our 800+ military bases around the world, make sure corps paid taxes, and rescinded tax cuts to the wealthy, the whole narrative would change.

What we have is corporate owned Republicans and corporate owned Dems fucking the people over - AGAIN!

[vaberella]

11. That is 100% false.

Obama was going to cut about---maybe 2-3% of the things on this list. Shoot, HUD was getting an increase in funding not decrease.

[bigwillq]

12. So Obama will veto, right?

:shrug:

[polichick]

13. Wouldn't that be nice?

[bigwillq]

16. Since that list isn't what Obama was proposing

he needs to veto.

[vaberella]

23. I don't know. We'll have to see won't we. What if he does? n/t

[Ignis]

26. He will fiercely veto, I'm sure.

[Mimosa]

9. They are collaborators.

They aren't that stupid. Big business has told the Congress and the President to cut public spending and they have obeyed.

Who needs all those fancy, wasteful programs?

[Tesha]

5. Brought to you by the Two-Sides-of-the-Same-Coin Party. (NT)

[ProSense]

8. That's not what was passed. That's the $74 billion Republicans want. Here

is what passed: House passes bill to avert government shutdown. What's in it, exactly?

<...>

But what’s in this bill, HJ Res 44, exactly? Good question. You can read the text of it here, in case you’re interested. In general, it keeps government spending for most discretionary programs at last year’s level, until March 18, when it turns into a pumpkin.

The $4 billion in reductions are not whacked out of spending across the board. They come from eliminating eight programs that Mr. Obama previously had targeted for extinction, saving $1.24 billion, and cutting out some $2.7 billion in earmarks – pet projects inserted into US spending plans by individual lawmakers.

The programs that are getting zeroed out include the Smithsonian Legacy Fund, which is losing $30 million. This fund, notes a fact sheet put together by the House Appropriations Committee, was a one-time thing meant to revitalize the Smithsonian’s Arts and Industries Building, and it’s not needed anymore.

<...>

Boehner has to cover his ass.

[Shiver]

18. I really appreciate your efforts.

But I have to wonder if you ever get disheartened that people seem to ignore it when you post reality?

[displacedvermoter]

19. She's a voice in the wilderness!

[and-justice-for-all]

21. Oh please....nt

[annabanana]

20. kicking for THIS post. . .exhausting, isn't it? . . . .n/t

[vroomvroom]

14. Thank God EVERYTHING that Benefits the Rich/Corporations Remain Intact! nt

[bluedigger]

15. Most of these listed are very worthy programs.

But what really leaped out of the list for me was $2B for job training. :wow:

:wtf:

Are we just going to concede?

[DebJ]

22. Grrrr.. ..... Get OUT of Afghanistan, now! n/t

[GoCubsGo]

24. Well, there goes my last hope of finding a job.

The states aren't hiring. Now the feds won't be hiring. Not many private sector jobs in my field, and they don't tend to hire people who have no experience in the consulting field. Fuck this.

[indepat]

25. Gutting everything that promotes the general welfare to pay for tax cuts for the uber-wealthy and to

continue to fund two permanent wars. :patriot:

[midnight armadillo]

27. Here we see the "Screw Science" agenda in place

NIST, NIH, NSF, FDA, EPA, NASA, NOAA, DOE - screw science!
