[link to reportergary.com] Oh boo hoo! So the FFA has to cut 1 billion dollars out of a 70 billion dollar budget. Cry me a river. Why don't they all take a pay cut to help pay salaries of proposed closings? Hmm? I'm not concerned. Several of those proposed towers in AR are right near me and very tiny private airstrips. If private airplane owners want to use the little airstrips, let them pay for the traffic controlers. There is likely only one on that list that would impact the larger regional airport. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 31088026 United States 02/23/2013 01:15 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The sequester will result in $22Billion being cut from this years $1.2Trillion dollar budget. None of this even happened when the government actually DID shut down in the early '90s yet, somehow, today, $22 Billion in cuts will grind the nation to a hault. Take your bullshit and shove it up your ass. Absolutely right, well, that last part is a little harsh, but the analysis is right on. And I'd like to point out here that I am NOT a republican. This is not a partisan thing, it's simple common sense. If we were talking about a 30% cut, that would be different, but this is a drop in the bucket! |

Desert Fox User ID: 8786935 United States 02/23/2013 01:39 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Agreed! 44 Billion is the reduction of the requested increase. Funding is still going to be there at current levels or better. But the democrats will make this another crisis by affecting things that will hurt people the most so the people will blame it on those evil republicans. The story will of course be, military will collapse, terrorist and Americas enemies will use this as a window to attck us. The poor will die, grandma will be kicked off her resperator and left to fend in the street like a diseased animal, teachers, police, firfighters will be furloughed, and on and on and on. The MSM already has their doom and gloom stories filmed and ready to run non stop to put pressure on the republicans to cave once again. Which the gutless republicans will most likely do. All of this to force spending to unsustainable levels and crash the economy, cause mahem in the streets, impose martial law and create the socialist utopia the 43% Obama voters, and the NWO want to see happen to America. My advice is don't buy into this BS for one second. Know the game plan and protect your own family first. Bullets, beans and bandaids. Be prepared, because it is coming. Join your local milita if you have one.there is strength in numbers. :TOMABANEFOX: It's more humane this way ya know, or burn on totem pole. Choice is yours. |

Quoting: pool [link to www.syracuse.com] Washington -- U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta says he will recommend that President Obama veto a $631 billion defense bill if Congress fails to include funding for a missile defense project.... The number of U.S. ground forces would drop to levels not seen since 1940, the Navy would drop to the smallest number of ships since 1915 and the Air Force would be the smallest ever, Defense Secretary Leon Panetta said in warning Congress of the dire implications of deeper defense cuts.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 22899606 United States 02/23/2013 01:42 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | This makes our country more vulnerable and less aware of terrorist with pilot licenses. Quoting: pool How do you figure? If there are less stations to man, then you can beef up security at the towers you have left. Also, how many towers did we have in operation during 9-11? Probably more than or as many as we have now. The radar technology has to be much better now than then. You wouldn't need as many to cover the same area. I just don't understand how losing towers makes us more vulnerable to terrorists. Haven't we spent trillions killing all those terrorists over the last 10 years. Shouldn't there be less of them to monitor by now? |
