Sequester deadline looms as US faces $85bn cuts

200 bn?

In January and February 2013, US explicit debts rose by 122 bn per month. If you want to have just one year with at least no further climbs in existing debts, you would need a cut of not 200 bn, but 1464 bn. That's almost one tenth of the 2012 GDP. That would not reduce the debt. It would just not add new ones on top of the heap.

If however already a cut by 85 bn would make the US collapse and the sky falling, you can imagine what it would mean if the US would do what really is needed to be done when meaning serious to tackle debts. Or in other words, you can imagine how deep the disaster is in which it is fully embedded. In plain English: no escape than total collapse.

I am convinced that there is not a single politician in Washington - or any Wetsrn capital for that matter - who indeed wants to tackle national debts. Nobody wants to do that, because everybody kinows what that means. Everybody is hoping to successfully delay the big revelation day to the time after he has ended his gold robbing and power picking career.

Did you look at the date on your videos? Of course you didn't. You post first, and maybe think later if you get around to it.

You might want to look up how words are spelled and what they mean before making that claim. You really do bring nothing to the forum that's worth reading.

Just as I've said to another here, you make real conservatives look bad. Before you make fun of someone else you should learn to make fun of yourself.

I agree. I think it would take about 200 billion in cuts to get us back to last years spending levels, but the way numbers are spinned...

I totally agree, each year the Washington mob robs and plunder each year, like an out of control corporation with no regulation.

They should be doing more cuts... like quit giving money to countries that shoot us in the back. We've got people right here in the US that need help and never get it. Take care of our own first and foremost.

Just wait for March 27 and the sky will start falling.

Continuing Resolution expires on March 27. Republicans will use that against Democrats to not increase tax and cut the entitlement programs. If Democrats don't agree with the Republicans then Republicans have nothing to lose because they still cut the program through shutdown.

17th Amendment have sealed the America as we have known. It is way beyond to save the America.

Be prepared for the 2nd civil war.

More like things will some how keep going despite the government.

The 17th Amendment has been in effect since 1912 therefore no living person can have "known an America" before it was ratified.Well maybe a handful of centurions(person 100 years of age or older) but they would only have been toddlers and therefore would not recall pre 1912 America either.

Jobs are important at all times.

With the Dow Jones industrial average flirting with a record high, the split between American workers and the companies that employ them is widening and could worsen in the next few months as federal budget cuts take hold.
