White House cancels tours citing budget cuts caused by the "Sequester" and our Congress' failure to pass a budget and/or inability to agree to a combination of spending cuts and tax increases.
On a side note, the federal government spent approximately $2.2 Billion dollars on free phones in a program initially targeted for poor people to ensure they were not cut off from jobs, family and emergency services.
Guess which program did not get cut and has a huge amount of fraud!
In the words of Jon Stewart of the Daily Show....and others I would assume.
WTF!!!!
This is just a rant, and my personal complaint towards all 435 members of the House of Representatives, 100 Members of Congress, the President and all others involved in spending my tax dollars. All of whom are exempt from cuts to their salaries, staff and benefits!
Come on guys, get your "stuff" together, grow some balls, represent us the people and stop acting like you're not going to play just because you can't get your own way.
It's called cooperation, not "me me meism"!
