Page 14 - Sequestration Cuts News Today

Are telling us since sequestration cuts will be let out it wont be held until late march or early april. they believe juanes that happens republicans will wind up kaying and giving the president the higher tax rates he wants just like they did during the fiscal cliff debate. this came hours after president obama took his message to new port news, virginia and a nuclear attack submarine plant. >> the impact wont be felt overnight. it will be real. the seek quest tore will weaken americas economic...

His analysis. this is not a good way to cut government spending. we need to restrain government spending. we need to not do it across the board. but this is the only tool the administration was willing to give us. and they are not willing to negotiate over smart cuts to the budget. all they want is more money to spend. better toe have some small cut 2.4% of the entire budget than to have no cuts at all. >> bill: all right. and the republican party simply cannot cave again or you dont have a repu...

Responsibility? >> neil: apparently no one has. we do know a lot of the illegals who has been held on a variety of issues are released, now supposedly monitored but ahead of sequestration cuts. ahead of them we are already doing this. >> this is just unexplainable, unbelievable and its appalling. the bottom line, what about the respect for the law abiding citizen and who is running this country? blame this person, blame that person, duck, cover. american people are fed up. >> neil: what are you ...

Illegal? what if there is a crime committed as a result of this? then what happens? i think its a really dicey proposition here to be doing this if it is for political posturing. thats what governor of arizona jan brewer thinks. she says this is pure political posturing and the height of absurdity given that the releases are being granted before the sequestration cuts have gone into effect. >> steve: see what, it does is by releasing 3, 4, 500, theyre talking about pinnal county, theyre thinking...

The president on the amount of duplication and amount of waste in the federal government. government agencies are not the most efficient organizations in the world, but certainly easy to highlight stupidity in how they spend the money. you can eliminate the stupidity and wouldnt solve our problems with this sequester. it does beg the question, who is running these organizations that are continuing to allow money to be wasted. we ought to be asking the hard questions. >> neil: now, when you went ...

Moore. i just wanted to be clear. what were talking about armageddon is not the way on friday leaving aside these cuts, its fraction of a percent when you come to think of it $3.8 trillion budget, but half of those cuts are in outer years. then i wanted to think about the latitude that that has been given the president of united states to not enact the onerous cuts. he has much broader powers to make them a little less sensitive. dont go after the beef inspectors, maybe the department of agricul...

We made a good case that this was a flawed candidate. hes my secretary and yours. i wish him well. as a matter of fact, the first thing i want to do under sequestration is give the secretary of defense and the president of the united states the flexibility under the overall cap to move money around and make the sequestration cuts as painless and less disruptive as possible. >> well, do you think that the confirmation battle weakened him and do you have any regrets about the way that confirmation...

Angry and frustrated that they dont seem to articulate their pointed or win a national election. >> bill: and and you say mary katherine? >> i am not ashamed and i dont think it does any good to be ashamed. its fair to be discouraged. the sequestration cuts is a pretty good reason to be if you are somebody concerned about spending and both sides of the aisle youve got people freaking out about this cut that amounts to less than 1 months deficit from last year, think i when you look at that equat...

And seeing social issues in particular. >> bill, the country is changing. you ask conservatives today in polls about gays and gay marriage and they say, its just not as upsetting to them as generation ago. in california today, that amendment was defeated by conservatives who didnt like it. >> bill: conservatives and black americans but african-americans overwhelmingly. now their voted is going to be nullified. >> let me finish this point in response to mary katherine and to rush, i dont think it...

Would havent if we had a republican president? we would havent a sequest tration issue. we would have spending cuts and entitlement cuts. we wouldnt worry what happened two days from now whether or not it will be four hours or 14 hours. we wouldnt having this fight, bob. it would be done. >> bob: we no polls that republicans are taking heat for sequest tration. >> eric: stop it. >> bob: its not up fair. >> eric: president obama came up with sequestration. >> bob: i understand that. but public pe...
