Because all our other "dear leaders" won't allow it. They're all accountable, but we allow it to continue, because God Forbid it might effect ME.
Besides, if he REALLY wanted to cut defense, the Right would start screaming that he's "threatening our safety" to make political points.
9/11, as horrible as it was, was an abberation. A sucker punch, if you will. The TSA and all its associated spending was a gross overreaction. It could have been encompassed into the DOJ, and I'll wager it would have been done much more cheaply. Now you've got the "body scanners", which I'll bet are expensive. But will we see a benefit? Probably not.
But just let someone TRY to get rid of it. They will be labeled as conspiring with terrorists.
Anyone even SUGGESTING that SSA or Medicare be dealt with is always portrayed as "wanting to kill/harm Grandma".
The DOE? Biggest waste of money ever. It encourages passing kids along who shouldn't be. No Child Left Behind? When I was a kid, being "left back" had SUCH a stigma that no kid or parent allowed it to happen. Now a lot of people view their kid's school as state-sponsored day care.
"But it's for the CHILDREN ..............", people would scream.
I stopped at this....."Because all our other "dear leaders" won't allow it."
Now tell me what Obama was going to cut and tell me the name of the person or persons who stopped it.
You stopped reading because you have an irrational hatred of Barack Obama. Everything is "his" fault. When specific options were laid out to you by me, and the rationale for their continued existance was presented to you, you covered your ears and closed your eyes. Because you couldn't pin it on your arch-enemy.
Why do you THINK he doesn't want to cut defense? The Homeland Security Department?
Tried to explain it to you. The far right will paint him as "soft".
He doesn't seem interested with getting Medicare payouts under control. And the doctors say they'll stop taking Medicare patients. So he'll get labeled as a "Grandma Killer".
Tell us what Obama was prevented from cutting and who stopped him.
