cysts uh... on the program today we will be talking about the
sequester
uh... the
it's enraging to me and
the senate last night
in the dead of the night
literally in the dead of the night
past behave six for the sequester
not for head start
not for the n_i_h_
not for those schools that have had to cut thirty percent of uh...
uh... their teachers
because they rely on federal funds may be there on a uh...
military base may be there on a and indian reservation
but rather
to allow the f_a_a_ to avoid for allowing me
some air traffic controllers and shutting down some small regional
airports
because of course
this is all
the media and the wealthy
are terribly concerned about
uh... we will get into that with
with cliff
e no i mean
this should not
i mean if ryan
really contain myself here
this is
just a formal move by the senate
the administration's given every indication is going not going to veto
this bill
thereby completely
as far as i can tell
because of course this quest raise hit a lot of uh... um...
of poor people at this point
the sequester is had a lot of middle class people in terms of their schools
the sequester is hit
of functions of the federal government
uh... yet it is only about which directly implicates
the wealthy
that uh...
morgan city fix for and therefore he completely defense
the sequester
as a
as a tool in which to
force uh... i guess the republicans to accept that tax increases if that was
the plan
the other 'em
sort of the disaster coming out of the senate then this happened
uh... literally
last night idon't know um... at i'm not sure exactly what time it was but it was
late at night
uh...
there was not even a roll call for that
you had let me just set the at the table here and uh...
that there were stories increasing stories around the country
following the f_a_a_'s furloughs which took place setting in less than a week
ago
uh... of flight delays increased flight delays
which i think we're sort of
overblown and some level but i think it's also a function of
you know the media flies around a lot and uh... they've been waiting for this
and they were gonna report on it
now meanwhile we of course have decimated head start
we have cut back on an n_i_h_ funding i mean people know
uh... their stories about uh... towns in california that it has been decimated by
this
we are a cutting back on school lunches where
i mean the list goes on and on
but it's all
all those implications at firstam work you'll be felt by
the disenfranchised
the essentially the voiceless in in our country
but when you know
you're flying to kalamazoo or work product that is
that they have their regional airport um... and build the respect kalamazoo i
don't know if you regional or shut them
uh...
but when you finally have a legitimate when you're flying to europe regional
airport it shud i know when you got at the level of quality at well wait a
second
and so we you wait we hear hearings emilie take place
and within hours of the senate last night
like a say in the dead of the night without a roll call
uh... pass legislation that essentially says the f_a_a_ now hasn't authority
to transfer
uh... up to two hundred fifty million dollars from accounts that have money
into other programs
in other words
they don't have to do the across-the-board cut that's mandated by
the sequester
they can shift stuff around
and the house is expected to pass this no problem and now with the uh... the
white house is expected to assign it
and this is just
i mean this is just as stunning caves by the democrats i wouldn't call it a i
mean it's thinking traded periodically hadn't taken effect yet because i was
getting a little late or kurian that word national c
quiet most making here dot but but
i will pay you know
he didn't get to your query country in the coming to their secret uh...
yet your secret undoing of the stock acton right now and the there's just no
level of hypocrisy people won't go to you and i feel a clear shielded from all
of it whether it
they're they're having government health care but i'll tell you can't
today they're going to get the also security but oh you did a great big
pension the bill will cut yours
yet another load they know they have to clio many of them will to their
districts so people uh... fly uh... who had become something important that
something to they want you know they they still want to be allergic to give
the pain without the pain actually affecting them in the title different
right that that's really what it comes comptia
well you know the stock at this incredibly creating this is also just
sort of
i mean where does this leave the democrats now
in terms of their pushes to repeal the sequester
ami because there was it that seemed to me
yesterday and the day before
there was growing support
albeit maybe still nascent
but growing support for simply canceling the sequester
and because of the pressure that uh... that was
breen bought the bear uh... on senators on house members
the and and sadly just because a or less
uh... the biggest ah... pressure point uh... was
these flight delays
and it now that seems to be just in a in a in an instant
just simply washed away in
the democrats in the senate that democrats in the house if they're needed
to pass this thing probably all well
uh...
the white house is basically saying
we're gonna take
the biggest arrow in our quiver
in terms of um...
repealing the sequester
and we're going to break it in half
and now the only arrows in that quiver seems to me
defense contracting right down to the built by the way to resolve theo
and then all that's gonna be left are cuts essentially to
the social safety net and to services that are provided to you know any where
from
uh... twenty or thirty percent
of the public to uh... fifty or sixty percent of public but the most
the least politically powerful
and so then it's just going to be in come up on uh...
supposedly you know the upon liberals
to reverse that
by our sharing in you know cuts the so scared
i mean you know i mean that's that's you know this is what we've been talking
about for extended periods time
and then we are not as a questions go to pressure the republicans in the
democratically and then we're seeing the whole
mechanism
fall apart
by the apologist for this policy
it
i mean again like field believe we should all just a tad higher
because shakespeare dissipate stupid thing that didn't need to be done to put
away from actually doing their jobs and well but no because nobody because
spirit that they're going to have to act of course we did it would act but now
they're just acting on the part that really hurt them
uh... i mean that you know uh... you write immediately delete those pressure
point of the whole thing may just go on forever
uh... because of the curry strategy attitudinal overtake you shake your head
you relied like to be a good care what the cloud show they are
you know i don't even know how else sort of analyzing typically welcoming we know
i mean we know at that the very least that
there seems to be
slowly
growing um...
growing of flight amongst progressives in the house
and perhaps in the senate accused the proposed to change c_p_i_ cuts
uh... this week
you had uh... the congressional progressive caucus sent a letter to
president obama sake
they you know you seem to have met with just about everybody in washington
uh... except for us in on this uh... on this whole sequester
grand bargain thing
we've we want to sit down with you and uh... ted so that you can hear how
how adamantly we are against the uh...
uh... so security cut so i don't know that it's it down makes any difference
but at least they're making
are willing to
to now really start to put some distance between themselves and the obama
administration which i think it's going to be necessary to uh...
uh... for them both in their electoral uh...
opportunism twenty fourteen and also to protect cells can it's chamber that
women you know you don't know where the intent of that republican candidate
temperature difference between you and your own prevalent which isn't out and
you also have to end up talking about
about like never cut it more conservative districts who might have
had to do that because that's where they're from what about people that
should be a little indicated that the president
and they'll have to do it because of this immediately if we have to get
himself and again pat buchanan political authority chemicals security here to
protect those security to and that what progressive members uh... you would
think it it seemed to care about shockingly
to know that we not too cheesy happen in the whole thing has turned into a
retirement but it was just not that it was necessary
and uh... you know kenneth justice over the waiting to go to washington
uh... when i think we need to deal with any point you know it no matter what you
make a list of things words
i'd never want to hear again
i think unless you're dealing with the jury the word sequester sequestration
should be checked at the end of the dictionary
i do whatever he really economical a gang of something and washington my god
interwebs i mean
replace the current literally when he said that everybody in this office to
smuggle
acquitted call probably predicted
they're just not to participate in the world well you know the point is is that
any of these gangs which are always trying to do is put themselves as close
to the fulcrum
as they can
uh... right i mean is think of the season i'll be doing they're the ones
who don't want to see anti-trust point here abit
and skated interrupted him
uh... i'm not really sure actually gimmicky gangs of new york about
about strike it out of college and i did see uh... uh... warriors now
a whole they could be like the warriors
or the other group of guys america of the the uh... the orphan the people
phiri right the baseball series them all dressed up like the baseball jerry can
allow do whatever they want to powerfully notwithstanding you lived in
new york admin in the day of
and then they would have loved eleven weight seventy movies like the warriors
edit it warriors and and uh... escaped from new york between new york was
like this one but we can
hid out like halal falling apart which actually with a couple of somewhere new
york one japanese
going bankrupt
uh... it a backup stuff
