Doomsday Sequester Prediction (Joke on Harry)
Posted: May 8, 2014
Despite doomsday warnings from the White House and lawmakers on both sides that hundreds of thousands would lose their jobs as a result of the sequester, it turns out the budget cuts have only led to one job being lost among 23 federal agencies.
Now Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla., is demanding answers as to why the Obama administration repeatedly warned taxpayers that the $85.3 billion in spending cuts, which went into effect in March 2013, would threaten hundreds of thousands of jobs. The findings were revealed in a government watchdog report.
Rest of story...

Talk about Chicken Little... - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Dirty Harry was quakin' in his boots the day he carried on and on about the sequestration and how many jobs would be lost. One job was lost, Harry, one job. Too bad it wasn't yours. Maybe soon, though, eh?
Could it be that an END to sequester - stopped the bleeding?
[ In Reply To ..]I mean job bleeding.
What are you talking about? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]The sequester ended a year ago when the budget was finally agreed upon. The result over the past year is that one job was lost. All Harry's whining and carrying on was for naught.
I think you missed the point - different poster
[ In Reply To ..]Yes, the sequester ended a year ago--I think they were saying only 1 job was lost because it only went on for a short while.
Not missed by me. - Missed by person to whom I responded.
[ In Reply To ..]One job was lost with the institution of the budget/sequester, not the USA imploding as predicted by Dirty Harry.

Mr. Obama, alas, didn’t stand firm; instead, he tried to buy time. And, somehow, both sides decided that the way to buy time was to create a fiscal doomsday machine tha ...
