He wants the cuts to occur in the most public and most painful areas such as ATC and White House tours. There's no president in my memory that ever tried to hurt as many people as possible, like this one is doing.

And yet he wants to give free health insurance, cell phones, citizenship, hand outs,and everything else so as to usher in the welfare state to America? He gets criticized for trying to hurt as many people as possible while also getting criticized for trying to give the store away. Nice. :rolleyes:

The guy must be pretty good so as to be playing both sides like that, huh? ;)

They all are. Make it so that you don't have to beg for money to get elected and we will get a much better system.

Then the public officials become the ones who can argue issues the best, instead of the ones who can beg for the most cash. ;)

He's only giving the store away to those who support his political base.

Very good point. I wish we could do it. But, the large PACs, corporations, political organizations, and lobbyists in general (read those with money to spend on their causes) just won a huge Supreme Court case that determined efforts to curb their spending was an infringement of their rights to express their political views.

The accuracy of these "news" reports always astounds me. That's the stumpiest looking "757" I've ever seen. Must be one of them new -900's :cool:

Was optimistic someone wouldn't feel like they have to point out how someone was wrong in an aviation article.
God forbid someone say "tarmac" without being immediately corrected. :rolleyes:

It's easier to escape in a boat if the boat is in water. Word to the wise.
