One Super Simple Chart Shines Light On Obama's Lies About The Sequester

[buckeye45_73]

There's only a 1% difference between the two numbers, despite the fact that the chart is made to create the impression of a much larger difference.

Can you believe it? I thought their budget must be tripled from the title. The Chart only makes it look doubled and the OP said "one simple chart". The OP must be "simple".

there's dean, he just cheerleads for one liberal post in this thread, cant come up with a response.......

So deanie....if the FAA is so bad, why did Obama give them the same amount as congress?


And you're a liberal so we know you're.......hmmmmm....."Simple"

The cuts in the Obama FAA budget were to be offset by higher fees at individual airports.

btw, what was the point of this thread? Can anyone explain that?

If you can't figure that out by the title you're a bigger idiot than 8 took you for

That's the kind of thing people routinely say on messageboards when they cannot in fact explain the point to a thread.

The point of this thread has been inadvertent. The point is that liberals like you have your focus on Obama's large Negro penis so you can't see that you're being duped.

The fact is that even after the FAA absorbed the sequester cuts, their budget was still larger than what was requested by Obama in his budget request. And, that means that the pain created at the airports was contrived and unnecessary.

The sequester assigned $1.1 billion in cuts to the budget of the Transportation Department. Although the FAA is only 10% of the Transportation Department, it was assigned over half, $600 million of the cuts. Air traffic control is less than 10% of the FAA budget, but was assigned all of the FAA budget cuts. All $600 million of that cut could have easily been taken out of a portion of the FAA budget called grants to airports. There are $billions in those give away accounts.

Less than 1% of the Transportation Department was assigned over half of the cuts. This was a deliberate act by dishonest administration flunkies to maximize pain and attempt to prove that any budget cuts were impossible.

Indeed. I recall reading a blurb in the news to the effect that The Very Worst Thing For DC would be for the sequester to go into effect and it "not matter" to most people.

So, they've done everything they can to make it "matter".

Why would anyone waste their time reading that? We already know the answer is "no."
