GOP: Understaffed Federal Workers! Good!


The IRS scandal, the Benghazi scandal and the Department of Justice trying to silence classified leaks are being hyped up by the Republican Party and its allies in the conservative movement.

Would you expect the lack of federal services due to the sequester are probably a reason to why these controversies happened?

No.

Well here's a shocker for you! Many federal appointments weren't confirmed during the first term of President Barack Obama. And today it continues because of the Republican senate's abuse of power on the filibuster.

As we celebrate Memorial Day, our federal workers who serve the needs of the United States government will lose a portion of their pay. While our lawmakers are taking another vacation, they leave the Capitol with many bills undone and lack of corporation between the two opposing parties. They are leaving from the very jobs we the American people voted them in for.

The sequester's effects on the federal government are starting to show and our the low approved Congress failed to stop it.

With the tornado destroying much of Moore, Oklahoma, many Americans are relying on FEMA. The Federal Emergency Management Agency is going to face stiff cutbacks come this summer. With a possible strong hurricane season, many FEMA and National Weather Service workers will be furloughed for a few days as well as the "scourge of the junk food media", the IRS will be affected.

The U.S. Postal Service is asking Congress to save the mail service by eliminating Saturday. Congress turned a blind eye.

Secretary of Transportation Ray LaHood is leaving soon. But he gave the strong warning about the nation's crumbling infrastructure. We seen two bridges collapsed, a devastated city in Oklahoma, a rail line destroyed and many construction on highways grounded to a halt because of Congress.

So if we're to cut government in the ways of Senator Rand Paul (R-Kentucky), Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) and Senator Tom Coburn (R-Oklahoma) to save this nation, then we're doomed!

The Republicans are screwing up this nation by stalling the president's agenda. The president won the election, and the mandate was set. The junk food media obsesses over Benghazi, the IRS or whatever else the Senators John McCain (R-Arizona) or Lindsey Graham's (R-South Carolina) whine about.

I will kindly stress that the real problem here in the United States. Demographics.

As the nation grows, so is our non-white population. President Barack Obama overwhelmingly won almost every demographic but the White working class.

The Republicans are going to end up the all White party.
Lawmakers off to another vacation. When they come back, there will be more talk about Benghazi, the IRS and repealing Obamacare. Of course, slight mentions of tornado relief, bridge repair and looming sequester cuts.
To piss off a government worker is one thing, but to allow lawmakers take vacations, work 132 days out of a year, and pass laws that may effect the nation as a whole. I just can't wait to see them rush to the ballot box to remove those politicos from Washington.

Republicans led us to the Great Recession. They won't get it through their manure filled heads that the key to growth is spending. We need to spend on infrastructure and innovation. We can't cut while the economy is rebounding.

But since this is the Black man talking to you, I guess you're not comfortable with it.
