The GOP reportedly is considering “ceding” power to President Obama regarding the sequester. The President will have until March 8 to come up with $85 billion in spending cuts and Congress can “veto” these by March 22 with a 2/3rds vote.
If this actually passes and Congress does this (presumably to embarrass the President by displaying “where” he cuts), the country will then pass into dictatorship. The Constitution was written specifically to prevent this exact possibility!
SDBullion’s new 2013 Silver Buffalo round is available now as low as .99 over spot!
Are they crazy? Is everyone crazy? What are we doing now, making up the rules as we go? I did not vote for my Senators and Representatives so that they could trash The Constitution! This plan is the EXACT opposite of how The Constitution was originally set up. Congress is supposed to propose any and all spending which would of course include any “cuts”. Of course, this country has now gone 4 years without a budget which is mandated by law but who cares about the “law” anymore except for us poor plebes who go to jail for stealing a candy bar or planting your own garden?
If this actually passes and Congress does this (presumably to embarrass the President by displaying “where” he cuts), the country will then pass into dictatorship. The Constitution was written specifically to prevent this exact possibility. Through executive order the president now can have you arrested, killed, sent away forever and never even know what the charges are or were. He can shut down the internet, confiscate assets, support or destroy specific industries at will and do just about anything he pleases. It crept up slowly but if you have eyes and ears of your own, “dictatorship” has arrived. As a side note, I have read that the current “litmus test” in the military for officers is whether they will or will not order firing on U.S. citizens. Why do you think the military was turned upside down back in November and December and so many high level officers were sent down in rank, put behind desks and “retired”…maybe they failed the test because they are Patriots?
All of these politicians in my opinion should be impeached for treason. They have all placed their hand on the bible and were sworn to uphold The Constitution. They have failed and are failing to perform their duties which they were elected and paid with taxpayer monies to perform. Speaking of “elections”, there have been many reports of election fraud during the past election. How is it possible that no investigations have occurred into precincts where 148% of registered voters “turned out” to vote? How is it possible that 100% of the vote was one sided in a Philadelphia borough? Statistically this is impossible as at least one person would by mistake have voted for the challenger. OK, enough, so you understand that I’m pissed off (and scared) about what is surely coming as it always does when a government moves toward dictatorship…(end of rant),
From the “budget” standpoint we are only talking about $85 billion. In today’s world this is nothing…it is less than nothing (unless you are talking about Gold reserves). TARP was $700 billion, 8 times larger. The Fed is buying $85 billion worth of Treasuries each and EVERY month! $85 billion is a ham sandwich at best when looked at from the standpoint of the big picture…but wait, is it really? Yes and no, it depends on which “big picture” you are looking at. Washington/Wall St. or Main St.? In the world of high finance and fraud, $85 billion is not much, hell, Bernie Madoff stole over $50 billion and he’s just one man. The Fed gave $83 billion to U.S. banks last year just to keep them open. Our annual deficit is 15 times $85 billion…it is nothing.
But to the man/woman on the streets it is HUGE. It means a MASSIVE amount of jobs. I have seen estimates of well over 1 million jobs will be lost with this sequester. This is the “rub”, the stupidity of how large the system was becoming was kept hidden from the public all this time. A billion, a trillion, $16 trillion or even $1 quadrillion (of derivatives) were just numbers. They were mere numbers that you read about or heard about in the news. They weren’t real in any way to the average person. But…if this chump change amount forces the firing of some postal workers, soldiers or other government employees it will become real. VERY real!
I find it humorous that these traitors in Washington cannot find 1/2% of the budget to cut. Could you find 5% or 10 times that of your personal budget to cut? Eat out less, stop smoking, car pool or whatever. The fact is that the average American already HAS been cutting their budget for probably the last 5 years, in some cases many more years than this yet the government cannot cut 1/2%. Why not? Simple, ANY cutback (even as small as $85 billion) is big, HUGE to Main St.. Any cut to Main St. will “pull up the government skirt” and people will finally realize just how big a paltry $85 billion really is. I guess the best way to explain this is that the public will finally realize just how big even small numbers are in reality.
Now you know the “why” that DHS has purchased close to 2 billion hollow point bounds of ammo. Main St. is going to be hopping mad when they figure out what has been done to them. Main St. slept through the entire run up to where we are now, it will be a very rude awakening indeed! Regards, Bill H.

zeig heil
next the enabling act aka Adolph and the boyz
And the sheeple will keep on sleeping as long as their ebt cards work, their Obama phone works, they have the latest piece of icrap to play with, video/computer games… I could go on but the sheeple are asleep and brainwashed.
Personally I think it is time to march on Washington and toss out the traitors. Quick trial and a rope or firing squad.
Both party’s are at fault and do not wish to take responsibility for making decisions. The American public wants more spending. No austerity. Period. They want what they want when they want it. And, they don’t give a hoot about the Constitution. Pretty obvious.
Mr. Holter, you are a pathetic, rable rousing ass with absolutely nothing of substance to say… what a waste of band width.
SRV…. The Silver doctors Village Idiot

Struck a nerve, did he? Maybe there should be a “coming out of the closet” party, ya think?
@Nitsuj
Isn’t the Top Ten a comedy bit?
@silverrrr
Say what?
I don’t know who photo-shopped that picture of Il Douche Bag in the powder blue uniform but I’ve seen it elsewhere on the web. It’s great and 100% true to character… what there is of it.
The histrionics coming from DC over minuscule cuts in the rate of increase and not in the rate of spending is illustrative of the complete incompetence in this regime. As a person who worked in industry for 31+ years, I can say that ALL industries go through periods of time when budget cuts MUST be made if the company is to survive. When these times arrive, it is up to all of the company employees from the top to the bottom to tuck it in, get serious, and find ways to reduce costs while maintaining as much productivity as possible. I would be fatally embarrassed to go on national or even corporate TV and admit that I was so stupid and so incompetent as to not be up to such a simple challenge. No, folks, it is NOT rocket science. Yet, here we have the President of the United States of America, the Majority Leader of the US Senate, and scores of other Dems going on TV and admitting this to the entire nation. They should all be fired immediately, investigated thoroughly, and then punished accordingly.
At any rate, none of these cuts will amount to a diddly damn at a time when the existence of the nation is at risk from financial collapse while the politicians of all stripes pretend to be addressing these problems. None of them give a damn if the entire country collapses as long as they get to be in charge for a while before that happens, so they can loot the US Treasury some more. One can only wonder what the Founding Fathers would have thought of these jackals. My guess from reading history is that they would have hanged them for treason. Oh, for the good old days, when men were men and dead wood was pruned, not merely of necessity, but with relish!
It looks like the cuts are automatic now. So we will all get to see if the rubber actually meets the road on these cuts. Ideally I’m all about issuing Treasury notes. Although I wouldn’t gripe over a PM standard for US currency. I thought for sure they would kick the can again.
Ignorance is no excuse. The people need to act before it is too late
Those who do not follow the constitution need to be removed.
How on earth were these criminals put in power in the first place, belies logic and common sense!
This is politics! It has nothing to do with logic, reason, or common sense. It is ALL about emotion and greed.
Most of the scum that are supposed to represent us have been carefully selected by the NWO scum who fully intend to be part of the ruling class in the NEW DARK AGES that they are bringing to us. The founding fathers are turning over in their grave. What they fought for, bled for, and gave their lives for is being fought for by only a few. We must survive so that we can rebuild our civilization after the illuminati scum destroy it.
Pull everything out of the market and buy physical Silver bullion. Cocealed Carry Permits are hot items too! Nuff said.
How can we get these career politicians out? Don’t tell me vote, I have not voted for an incumbent in decades.
We put them in office and they cater to special interests, constituents be damned. Enough already! Decades of horse pooh.
We need a revolving door in DC to get back to the principles this country was founded upon. Lobbyists/special interest groups should be outlawed.
Our forefathers gave us the guide and warned us of possible pitfalls. It is hard not to believe we are being orchestrated by TPTB. 2013, is going to be a most interesting year, buckle up!
Absolutely Sheep Dog!
The answer is reasonable, personal (including corporations who “are people too”) campaign contribution limits ($1000 each person or business/corporation?) with public, supplemental funding to top up all campaigns (local to federal, including justice positions). And of course as you say, outlaw all paid lobbying and bring in pest control (more jobs!!) to decontaminate the back rooms of congress. Further, ban outside campaign spending other than logistical costs for organised public demonstration… eliminate all outside spending in the media.
Term limits are counter productive in this model IMO… if the system brings good, ethical people to government why not keep them? Finally, some way of braking the GOP/Dem stranglehold on the political system would be another positive step
Or… you could always go with the Holter Plan, and blame it all on the black guy in the White House (which is the sum total of the the Tea Party strategy, based on the confidence it would get wide spread support on the right).
