Let the cuts go through and see where the chips fall. It seems defense sector will be hit and it is bloated as is.

Here are the results of Obama's bipartisan National Commission on Fiscal Responsobility and reform:

It looks like Obama has reached around the aisle. Is it just that he gave the reach around to the wrong republicans?

Obama is not saying the amount of the cuts is bad. The way they are imposed is half assed at best. They are done with a butcher knife and not a scaple. That is the problem. The cuts were MADE TO BE extremely scary and fuck stuff up if they went through...and now they are going through.
That is why he is freaking out.
I don't really care about sources of lists, because for all their fun subsidies, contracts and legislation they've received and lobbied for their criticisms of government spending isn't entirely unfounded. It just bothers me when criticism becomes as partisan as the politicians themselves.
Are you for real it was a sarcastic statement to introduce a little humor in a post You have no clue what my beliefs are and you are pretty low to flame anyone for any of their beliefs would you criticize a Muslim for any of their beliefs and how about Obama he says he is Christian does that mean you will also criticize him for those beliefs? does that make Obama not fit for office?
You have used the old liberal tactic " cant debate the message so you personally attack the messenger"
That's what I am saying. This list is being used as a way to blame Obama for the current state of the country's finances, and is put out by one of the largest contributors to Republican/Tea Party members. It's not a non-partisan objective list, especially when it is used by the OP to say that it is "all their fault" meaning Democrats.
Liberals don't just do this.You have used the old liberal tactic " cant debate the message so you personally attack the messenger"

^ Slide show that has what the real problem is. Social security and medicare are not solvent.
It's not 2.4% to many of the programs that will be cut, it is also a very poorly applied cut where each line item in a departments budget must be uniformly cut. So this means we can't cut just the tanks we dont need out of the military budget, in fact we can only cut ~9% of them and then we must also cut an equal percentage from veterans assistance, training, etc.
It is by caffeine alone I set my mind in motion. It is by the beans of Java that thoughts acquire speed, the hands acquire shakes, the shakes become a warning.

How am I supposed to know it was sarcasm?
And yes, I will criticize all ridiculous beliefs. I prefer living in a world where we value empirical evidence and make decisions based on facts, not on fairy tales and biases.
I'm also not a American, so it's not like I'm invested in this debate. It was more as a warning to those who wanted to continue to discuss with you.
Edit: You're also the same guy who kept evading questions in that thread, cognitive dissonance much?

Before the camps, I regarded the existence of nationality as something that shouldn’t be noticed - nationality did not really exist, only humanity. But in the camps one learns: if you belong to a successful nation you are protected and you survive. If you are part of universal humanity - too bad for you -Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
