Actually, this is the result of 2 illegal wars by cheney/shrub/rumsfeld that cost trillions of dollars while they gave more trillions in unneeded and undeserved tax breaks to the megarich and the big corporations.
The Iraq Resolution or the Iraq War Resolution (formally the Authorization for Use of Military Force Against Iraq Resolution of 2002,
House voted 296-133 and the Senate voted 77-23 to grant that power to the President.
Article I, Section 8, Clause 11 of the United States Constitution, sometimes referred to as the War Powers Clause, vests in the Congress the power to declare war.
So according to the law Kent, the Iraq conflict (not a “declared war” evidently) was voted on and approved by congress so if it was “illegal” then YOUR representative is guilty of the crime.
It was actually the Secret Service that cancelled the WH tours not the POTUS. It being one of the first visible impacts of the sequester. In the coming months those effects are going to snowball everywhere from longer waits at the airports to federal aid to states drying up.
Hey what about the wars Obama has led us to? Are they “good” wars that we can afford because he has the peace prize? http://articles.chicagotribune.com/2011-06-12/news/ct-oped-0612-chapman-20110610_1_generals-war-american
Well you see, the white house tried to make it as if they made the decision. Some Secrete service guys did have to be put on leave and what not because of Obama’s need to be in charge of no I will not play with you and let this sequester happen. Obama did not want to make the decision with a meat clever to hit up sick kids or poor kids. So he just let the doors to his house be closed so no kids could come over and play. His press secretary said so. But then the holy polls took a hit. So Obama had to get right out in front of this crisis and say it was the the secrete service guys fault… .. Hype and Blame Obama!
“It was actually the Secret Service that cancelled the WH tours not the POTUS.” ♦ The President is the chief executive of Homeland Security ergo chief executive of the Secret Service. There is no way that the Secret Service could stop White House tours without the President’s tacit or explicit approval.
Thanks for taking the time to post the direct link to the CPC budget summary. I was glad to see that they did include some specific numbers in spreadsheet form at the end. I should have read the heading on the budget summary that I had instead of jumping directly to text. I might have noticed that mine was for 2012. An error I hope not to repeat. I, too, agree with some of the points in it, but I still believe it is more of a wish list than a reality check.

Are you ignoring the four years of the largest deficits in history? And we are moving into four more of the same.
