The House Republican leadership is continuing its tireless mission of pitching legislation that will never become law, like spending cuts they say will save $2.5 trillion over 10 years. Some of this is in specific cuts, like a "$1 million mohair subsidy," which is bravely included despite the overwhelming political power of goats. But much more of it is in "firing 15 percent of the federal workforce and returning to 2006 spending levels for non-defense agencies starting in 2012." That's nice and unspecific and theoretical. Just tap the federal government with Paul Ryan's magic pair of safety scissors, and suddenly it's 2006 again. Hey, it will never pass anyway. May as well!
see, if egypt were less a 'middle east ally that we don't need to invade that isn't israel' and more a 'middle east trouble spot that we do need to invade' they wouldn't be getting their budget slashed.
They could save 20% just by using Bed, Bath & Beyond coupons for everything. Plus cut 15% of Congressional seats. Selling Texas to Mexico would raise a few bucks and it's a win-win: they get to secede, our national averages go up. (Don't forget to act sad when they go: "Hasta la vista Texas. I don't know how we'll get along without you.")
If the Tea Party and the Republicans really think firing thousands of people will help the economy, they are clearly stupid and should never be listened to again.

really, it serves them right.
Wish I could give you a hundred thumbs up. If I have time to go to our computer lab later...

Even better, turn back all budget items related to technology to 1950.
You could put trucknutz on a caboose, and it still wouldn&#039;t do Amtrak any good in dumbfuckistan.
(I know, my post makes no sense, but when will I ever get the chance to type &quot;put trucknutz on a caboose&quot; again?)
The obvious solution is to declare war on Switzerland, invade, and take all their money.
