Come on, FITS. You’re really slipping.
This is one agency that closed its doors in the middle of 2012, long after the sequester was thought up and passed. It is quite plausible that it was not removed by error. Also, it is one agency, one error. Even Reason ponders -if- there may be more errors.
Going directly to the notion that it isn’t an error, but an outright attempt to dodge part of sequestration, is pretty laughable too, but so is calling one agency “agencies” and spotting one error “riddled with errors.” Thank goodness someone pointed out this grand conspiracy to prevent $2 -million- dollars out of -billions- from being cut, though!
There would have to be a significant number of non-existent agencies, or a significant amount of “spending” being “cut,” or for fucks sake, at least an agency that hasn’t been around for a few years, to really suspect something fishy. The sad truth is that Congress doesn’t like sequestration either and it will likely be extremely crippled or killed before it actually kicks in, at the last minute, and done the “legitimate” way of passing a bill to abort it, rendering such an asinine conspiracy completely pointless.
Just one example of the scare mongering and out right blatant mis-management of this administration Smirks. It is indefensible for the President to be running around talking about the dollars and jobs that will be lost when we know that is a cut to the increase, not a cut to the base. Compounding the false basis of his argument are the simple factual errors he and his staff spout on a daily basis.
What do we want? Sequester!
When do we want it? Now!

FITS told us there is no difference between Obama and Romney.
Who is stupid enough to accept any more of FITS’ genius political analysis after he said that?
Yeah, better we stick with yours. Lol!

And this is why we will never come anywhere close to solving the debt crisis. Democrats will claim that cuts to entitlements will leave the poor in the street. Neocon Republicans and Democrat war hawks both think not increasing military spending will dismantle our military, and there is never enough money for our mindless imperialist wars and foreign aid. In the end, the “bipartisanship” that everyone clamors for won’t solve a damn thing. And we keep electing these asses. Only ourselves to blame.
