This is Obama's Plan. He is patient in trying to give our defenses to other countries.

However, U.S. Aerospace believes the idea of procuring defense products from China has support among contacts in the U.S. government and military who want to improve ties with Beijing and help cut defense spending.

U.S. Defense Department officials didn't respond to requests to comment.

I guess we need to shut down the
TSA
War on Drugs
Department of Energy
Department of transportation
Department of education
EPA
Drones
Get a refund on all those bullets we just bought.
Stop fighting wars over seas, and downsize the Military industrial complex.

But nope, that's not what is going to happen, what will happen is the people will be threatened with further loss of their rights, and their public services, like police, etc.

Re: GOVERNMENT: Defenses Down!! CLOSING AIR TRAFFIC TOWERS
They need to follow thru with firing the personnel who cause problems, not whole towers since others should be punished. This is another example of a wasteful and blind-eyed government.

What happened to the controller isn’t surprising, according to data obtained by Bloomberg News under the Freedom of Information Act. More than four of every 10 air-traffic workers the FAA tried to fire over almost two years kept their jobs or were allowed to retire, the data show. That included two-thirds of those targeted for firing over drug or alcohol violations.

“Americans should be outraged,” said Marc Scribner, transportation analyst for the Competitive Enterprise Institute, a nonprofit Washington group that advocates limited government. “Most government employees are good people and are not screwing up, not doing drugs, but there are bad apples in all levels of government and they should be fired.”

Under Agenda 21 you won't be flying much and besides you won't be able to afford to fly; get back to work Amerika.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1051105


If you leave the Agenda 21 Bolony out of this then your Statement about not being able to afford to fly is more correct.

The price of fuel will sky rocket and yes the average bear can't afford to fly anymore.

That is why this is a none issue.

Actually you better all dump those soon to be worthless gas SUV pigs you are all driving. You can't afford them very soon. Wait and see and the little puddle jumpers will go up in value and be harder to get soon.

They will be scraping 5 year old SUV's Soon. Very Soon.

WASHINGTON – The White House trotted out Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood today to explain that the sequester will take a toll at many of the nation’s airports.

“This is very painful for us because it involves our employees,” he told reporters. “But it’s gonna be VERY painful for the flying public.”


Previously Homeland Security Chief Janet Napolitano warned of a one hour increase in waiting in line at airport security checkpoints as a result of the furloughing of TSA workers.

$6 TRILLION budget. This years cuts will only be $20 Billion if the sequester even happens. They are trying to tell me that out of $6 Trillion that $20 Billion this year is going to hurt to the tune of 800,000 jobs? This is bullshit of the tallest and most stinky order. These pathetic pricks in charge are just lying through their overwhitened overpriced teeth. I can't wait until we can watch every one of them hang for what they have done. Last time I looked that was the charge for treason, no?

Getting rid of even one TSA thug is worth anything. Maybe Obama's budget cuts, which HE proposed, can be used to furlough HIM.
 Quoting: Mr. Weird


TSA screening employees have nothing to do with shutting down Air Traffic Control Towers...

Feb 28th - Pope officially steps down/Beatification process coming to a close

March 1st - Air Tower monitoring stations to be shut down in this so called Sequester...

This has the stench of another 9/11 hoax of external terrorists,in a pigs eye, more like internal for those who have eyes to see...

Sequester means: To "withdraw" those who typically monitor the safety of incoming Air Traffic,hm

Interesting INDEED that the word Sequester also entails this meaning in its full context;

Sequester: To separate from the owner for a time;take possession of the property of another until some CLAIM is paid or established; withdraw; seclude; to renounce,as a widow,any interest in the ESTATE of a husband...
 Quoting: gd2balive


Anyone Remember the parable that is related to this one below?

TKI is one of the busiest growing airports in suburban Dallas and is critical for general aviation and executive air traffic in the area. How sad to think they would close it as well as some of the other destinations where there is regular airline service. I see this as more of a threat and bargaining measure from the FCC to get a better allocation of funds, and if this is their motive, I say yes, play ball with congress to get it.

Re: GOVERNMENT: Defenses Down!! CLOSING AIR TRAFFIC TOWERS
None of this is going to happen. This could have started the first day of the year and we wouldn't notice a damn thing. The major cuts that come from sequester come down the road 3 years or more. This gives congress and the dictator (Oxymoron? I guess not if congress power is limited enough as to actually do nothing.) plenty of time to either fix the problem or kick the can down the road a bit more.
I guess the problem is that there isn't a whole lot more road to go. Don't let them get you pissed of over something that doesn't actually matter one little bit in the overall scheme of things.
We all know enough to know better than to listen to those pricks on anything concerning money. These are the same guys who are supporting the bankers at every turn. Why give them the time of day on much of anything besides the business end of a rope?

Re: GOVERNMENT: Defenses Down!! CLOSING AIR TRAFFIC TOWERS
I'm trying to figure this out. So the feds are saying they are going to close down towers and pull federal air traffic controllers out? Fine, leave it up to the states to hire and staff whatever towers they want. There are plenty of retired military guys who served as controllers that are probably looking for jobs right now.

When Reagan busted up the air traffic controllers union back in 1981, I had a friend who was working as a hotel security guard for minimum wage. He had had been a controller in the Air Force. He walked right out of a flunky security job and back into the tower tripling his salary overnight.

If you are talking about TSA...we don't need those fools frisking children and senior citizens. I'm pretty sure passengers will never let another plane be taken over by terrorists with burning tennis shoes or box cutters again.

They still serve wine in glass bottles on planes. I will put my broken bottle up against their box cutter any day. We are still allowed 3 ounces of liquid on planes. Do you have any idea how bad perfume sprayed in they eyes hurts? Or how about an oxygen tank and a lighter? My bomb against yours bitches!

It's all just another government issued scare tactic. Checkmate..what's your next move?
