Just two pennies but so much pain

The temporary two per reduction in the payroll tax is over, cutting your take-home pay by that two per cent.
So, what do you do?  You send the kids to bed every night without supper and on the other hand you max out your credit cards buying stuff you have no us for.

Of course, you don't act that way, bu your federal government does.  The sequester (don't they just love that word) reduces government spending by 85 billion dollars. Sounds like a lot of money but not when compared to what Obama spends. It's two per cent for departments affected but social security, medicare and other "entitlements" are unaffected.

The idea for this action was promoted by Obama but the administration wants to make people hurt and blame Congress.  While trying to make two per cent as painful as possible,like more delays at airports along with longer lines and more harassment of  passengers.  They tell lies like 100 teachers in one county being fired while the TSA spends 50 million on uniforms and other departments advertise to hire more workers.

Do they think we are stupid to believe two per cent can do much harm?  Yes, they are convinced we are just that stupid.  Maybe we are; we re-elected Obama.
