Big spending cuts coming on March 1st that will affect many.
This President has laid more blame at others than anyone I can remember. Boehner is right in that the President created this issue and needs to fix it and take responsiblity like a man.

That doesn't change the fact that Obama accepts next to no blame for any of the ills of this nation. Enlighten me if you can with an example and please be prepared to support it.

Wait, so now large scale government spending cuts are an "ill of this nation." I thought it was a major plank in the Republican Party's platform.

This is the GOP position as far as I can tell: These cuts are the worst thing ever, and they are Obama's fault, but these cuts are great compared to other cuts and revenue increases to offset these cuts, but we will trade them for less popular cuts to other programs as long as they dont raise new revenue, oh yeah, and we wont propose what those cuts should be, but someone else should so we can cover our ass, because we will get killed in elections and don't wont to own those cuts.

if they thought they could get return on investment and not have that return confiscated they would spend. but as long as this 0 is in office, they will not take the risk.
dems and pres voted for sequestration. if they didn't like it, why did they approve it and sign it into law? this is all bs scare tactics.
there is not a single gubmnt run program that could not still function with an across the board 5% cut. they just need to do like the private sector and learn to be more efficient but that is like trying to teach a cat to swim. just the mention of the word efficiency or downsizing sends the gubmnt establishment into a clawing biting frenzy.
