Now let's not forget that the POTUS demanded this sequester in 2011. Congress passed it.
$50 billion could be cut quite easily. Thats how much the US spends annually on foreigne aid.
Well I guess it was inevitable that Zimmerman was back in the news. Just waiting for al thel wars of words to begin between the posters. AGAIN
“When you look at this final agreement that we came to with the White House, I got 98 percent of what I wanted,” Boehner told CBS News at the time. “I’m pretty happy.”
Eighteen months later, with one week before the $1 trillion in deep, indiscriminate cuts to defense and domestic programs begin to take effect, Boehner is blaming Obama and refusing to consider any new tax revenues as part of a deal to avoid the sequester.
@chrissy
Israel is the largest recipient of US foreign aid, we have provided them with $115 billion of just the 'announced' aid. Who in this country's legislature has the backbone to demand a cut?
In 2011 Boehner & other Repub leaders suuported a package to raise the debt ceiling which included 'sequestration'.
President Obama has proposed a balanced approach as sequestration itself is not the solution.
Hello all, @bobcat(iah) I promise not to say or type that name. @little mister, I doubt it. I hope the politicos can get an agreement and soon.
LIbEraliSm = Nazism. Why is Obama doing everything as Hitler did it? Wait a minute, I already answered that quesyion.
Look up Nazism. You have little to no understanding of it. Look up term limits, also. You seem to have little to no understanding of it.
Hey@Hamsta your sense of humor sure awakens today.
“A senior Nazi visits a factory and asks the manager whether he still has Social Democrats among his workforce.
“Yes, 80 percent,” comes the reply.
“Do you also have members of the Catholic Center Party?” “Yes, 20 percent,” the manager responds.
"Don’t you have any National Socialists?”
“Yes we’re all Nazis now!”
Isn't this the kind of stuff you babble about Hamsta ? Can you see how ridiculous it is ?
Two men meet. “Nice to see you’re free again. How was the concentration camp?”
“Great! Breakfast in bed, a choice of coffee or chocolate, and for lunch we got soup, meat and dessert. And we played games in the afternoon before getting coffee and cakes. Then a little snooze and we watched movies after dinner.”
The man was astonished: “That’s great! I recently spoke to Meyer, who was also locked up there. He told me a different story.”
The other man nods gravely and says: “Yes, well that’s why they’ve picked him up again.”
Thanks@bobcat
@bobcat(in a hat) you rock my friend. LOL
Well i see my question was deleted about the Zimmerman case, so ill ask it again. How can his lawyer demand that Treyvons familys lawyer be questioned under oath? Isnt that privileged information between a client and his lawyer??
Chrissy, the defense wanted to question TM's family lawyer about an interview he gave; since the interview was made publicly, it isn't considered privileged information. The motion was denied anyway, making it a moot point.
