The truth about the Sequester: IT IS NOT ABOUT REAL CUTS or the Pentegon could not double its spending, with the sequester, in the next ten years, could it?



The Pentagon and its Progressive military leadership,  (wussies all) ,  threatens to furlough 800,000 civilian personnel,  should the Sequester go into effect. 

Understand that Obama signed this bill into law and helped to craft its proposal. 

Sequester is his bill and in 2011,  he swore that he would not veto this bill,  if it came to his desk. 

Also,  you should know that the Sequester will cost the Pentagon something in the neighborhood of 50 billion dollars per year.  That totals $500 billion over the same course of time. 

You can see the Pentagon’s budget,  below.  What you do not see,  on this chart,  is the result of “services base line budgeting.”  These military men of iron,  are crying and whining like the children they are,  about cuts that are completely over-run by the process of baseline budgeting. 

Components
Funding
Change, 2009 to 2010
Operations and maintenance
$283.3 billion
+4.2%
Military Personnel
$154.2 billion
+5.0%
Procurement
$140.1 billion
−1.8%
Research, Development, Testing & Evaluation

Military Construction
$23.9 billion
+19.0%
Family Housing
$3.1 billion
−20.2%
Total Spending

+3.0%

Services baseline budgeting adds 8% to the military budget,  each and every year,  without a vote from Congress . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 
. . . . . . . . . . . . . or the need for a presidential signature for any reason.  It is AUTOMATIC. 

In other words,  for all you low educated Democrats out there in Lala Land,  the Pentagon’s budget will increasing by 80% over what it is today.  The 50 billion dollar cut does effect the baseline.  Reflecting this cut in the baseline,  the annual budget for the military,  10 years from now,  will be $1.134 trillion dollars. 

A cut in the “baseline” is only a cut in the increase of spending.  The 800,000 civilians,  being cut,  are not paid out of this baseline.  Pentagon leaders are intentionally lying to the public,  proving themselves to be nothing but Obama puppets. 

First,  they lied about winning the war in Afghanistan.  Then,  they showed no concern at all for Obama’s idiotic “rules of encouragement”   and the killing effect it is having on our troops.  They demonstrated their utter incompetence with regard to a much needed embassy rescue in Benghazi,  leaving military personnel to die on their own,  while screaming for 7 freaking hours,  for help.  We have military leaders,  in a war theater,  sending out 30,000 emails to litigate lovers.  More than this,  they were reading 30,000 return emails.  How long does all this take  . . . .   managing a war in which men and women are dying under the command of these jerks  (Plateaus and Allen ) while reading love letters with their pants on the floor?    

Anyway,  Sequester does not represent real cuts,  only a slow down in the increase of spending for the Pentagon.
