Simple question on the Sequester

[LiberalFighter]

12. The budget for the govt is more complex than one for a family

especially if the family is only one or two that are retired and have their house paid off and don't use the car as much as when they were working.

If you own a home that would be a major expense that usually is more than your annual wages. Along with a car and other possible long term expenses that were through a loan. If you go by what others complaining about not budgeting properly they forget that they too generally have major items that were not paid in full at time of purchase.

When the voters 'elected' Bush in 2000 they elected a fool that did not bother paying attention to the daily briefings warning of possible terrorist attacks. Which might have averted 9/11. They intentionally intended from day 1 to invade Iraq because Clown Bush wanted revenge for his Poppy Bush. They made up evidence that there were WMD in Iraq to justify a war. Because of 9/11 they reduce taxes to encourage sales. All of that increases the deficit which the American people went along with. As long as people get upset about their taxes being raised (back to pre 2001 levels) it will be difficult to balance the budget. Unless the rich are tax at a higher level and the defense budget reduced to more appropriate levels.
