In 2011 we lost a notch on our credit rating as a country.
Congress passed a law called the Budget Control Act Of 2011.
President Obama signed it into law.
Everybody congratulated each other on it. Republicans and Democrats. It was a great day! The news media hailed it as a huge step forward in getting our credit rating back and addressing the debt and deficit problems.
Today...Pres. Obama is pretending that this is some horrible nightmare that must never happend. And Congress is doing the same thing!
Meanwhile...the exact same media news anchors who were joyous and proclaiming The Budget Control Act Of 2011 as a tremendous show of leadership from Pres. Obama in 2011 are now grimly reporting about the horrible "sequestration" that will destroy the country.
It's a goddamn insult to all of us how these politicians and the media are playing us like fools.
Bottom line is...the govt. doesn't want to cut ANYTHING. Cutting takes away the money they are taking from us and diminishes their power.
