Posted by:Besoeker

#9  LUCIANNE > [BBC] OBAMA SIGNS SWEEPING US BUDGET CUTS INTO EFFECT.

versus

* SAME > [Daily Mail.UK]PRESIDENT OBAMA SAYS US$85.0BILYUHN IN SPENDING CUTS WILL KICK IN FRIDAY AS [US GOP-DEM] LEADERS FAIL TO TO COMPROMISE ON REPLACEMENT PLAN.

* STARS-N-STRIPES > MILITARY SAYS CONGRESS MUST END SEQUESTER.

* SAME > [Panetta] "SEQUESTER IMPACT NOT IMMEDIATE". [USDOD] SERVICES SAY TRAINING WILL BE REDUCED , MAINTENANCE DELAYED.

* SAME > PACIFIC GIRDS FOR SEQUESTRATION IMPACT, LEADERS IN JAPAN, SOUTH KOREA WARN OF CHANGES IFF CUTS GO THROUGH.

* DEFENCE.PK/FORUMS > US BUDGET CUTS COULD HURT PRESIDENT OBAMA'S "PIVOT" TO ASIA [Asia-Pacific] - THE ECONOMIC TIMES [IndIa Times].

versus

* WAFF > AMERICANS FEAR US WILL END UP LIKE GREECE | [Time.com] ASK THE EXPERT; WHEN WILL FEDERAL DEBT CRISIS CAUSE A GREECE-LIKE CRISIS IN THE US!?

ADVANTAGE = Rising China [vs Japan in NE Asia], + Nuke-wannabe Rising Iran + Hard/Burqua Boyz.

JAPAN + other US Allies in East Asia must be twiddling their thumbs over whether the US = POTUS Bammer + USDOD will be there to back them up.

US Govt. Spending Authority will suppos end in late March 2013 - I could be wrong, BUT I DON'T FORESEE ANY GOP-DEM COMPROMISE ON
"SEQUESTRATION" THEN EITHER???

#6  Obviously Maxine counts Welfare moochers as 'employed'. I guess they are employed as 'voters'....

#5  Maxine Waters claiming the sequester will eliminate 170 million jobs when there are only 134 million people employed?

"See? That's how awful this sequester will be! You lose 1.5 jobs for every 1 employed!"

#4  If one of the 170 million includes her job, it might be worthy of the loss.

#1  Next greatest lie as presented today to the White House Press Corpse:

This sequester [miniscule reduction in gov't spending] will negatively effect the economy.
