I know y'all are aware of the 'Washington Monument' syndrome.. That's the name of the game being played in Washington right now over sequestration. Our esteemed CEO, Obamanation, has opted to make American citizens live that syndrome.
I reckon I ought to mention that the Washington Monument syndrome is the ploy by Presidents, Gob'nors, and Mayors to wield the ax of most public hurt when faced with budget cuts they fought against. At the federal level, closing the Washington Monument to tourists is usually first, but in this instance our dear leader has decided to close down the White House tours to all the kids across that land that saved and planned for a year to come to see The People's House.
At the state level, gob'nors tend to close State Parks or limit DMV office hours. And as you are all well aware, at the local level, mayors tend to bluster and threaten to close libraries, fire stations and reduce cops on the beat when their budgets are cut.
So here we are, with a Sequester proposed by Obamanation himself, which reduces the GROWTH (not the budget) by 2%! Further, it appears he has issued orders to every Cabinet Member and Department Chief, not to find ways to live with the lesser increase... but to inflict pain on the public.
Byron York, national columnist, spells it out much better than I. Please take a few minutes to read his column.... when you hear the talking heads of the MSM or your neighbors, you can 'splain that old 'put it where the sun don't shine' with a much greater degree of alacrity!
