In reply to the discussion: GOP offers plan to avoid sequestration by a 10 percent reduction in federal work force [View all]okaawhatever
(9,478 posts)31. The GOP want to make sure it's obama who gets blamed for downsizing the military. That's
what that's about. They accused him of hiring Hagel so the downsizing of the military could be put on a Republican. Dang, we don't need that size of military. C'mon guys this is ridiculous. Also notice they aren't going after any gov't suppliers, you know the companies who make money and support GOP candidates.
I'm thinking Obama needs to call their bluff to get some military cuts or approve it and then wait until 2014 and do what he needs to do if/when we get dems in control.

OP
They just can't help themselves. They're stuck in their ideological bubble and can't get out.

This is a way for the GOP to not actually have to do anything to fix the problem
