Watching a CNN analysis with Cato Research Institute’s Michael Tanner is eerily like reading from George Orwell’s “1984," with the news reel effect of what will happen with the sequester. And the truth is, it is going largely unnoticed. But America’s Truth Detector expounds on how the show was staged for the benefit of President Obama’s political ambitions.
I'm happy to say that we have made it through the much over hyped sequester! The sky isn't falling and life goes on normally as it always has.
March 1, 2013 Talking heads and news outlets talk about this "sequester," but what exactly is it?
To put it simply: it is a series of spending cuts and revenue hikes aimed at reducing the nation's deficit through a bill so ugly that it would force Congress and the White House to find a solution.
February 28, 2013 Minden Congressman John Fleming doesn't think there will be a deal in place on the upcoming sequester cuts. He tells KEEL News that he voted against the original bill, Budget Control Act of 2011, because he knew a day like today would come where Republicans and Democrats cannot come together with a plan to avert the sequester spending cuts.
February 27, 2013 The sequester is set to take effect on Friday, but should Americans be afraid of it's devastating effects? It will cut tens of billions of dollars from the federal budget, somewhat haphazardly, to reduce the deficit. The White House says it will be disastrous to the economy, affect travel, and hurt the military. But Republicans and folks like Rush Limbaugh say that spending will actually be higher after the sequester compared to last year's budget, so the cuts can't be that bad.
America’s Truth Detector is ever alert during this time of “Sequesteria.” He has found that one of the Drive By media teams has researched and released a list of “57 Terrible Consequences” if the present administration and congress don’t do something to inhibit the sequestration of about $44 billion in federal funds.
