I guess temporarily who knows we're trying to get those doors back open lot of people are emailing and twittering.

Bruce -- says this needs to be trending open our White House and Jay Kearney thank -- -- for your offer.

Airport that's more American men are whiny president could ever be we need those doors open -- bomb that's what we're -- open the doors and it.

Tax cuts are spending.

Tax expenditures.

Wrong -- call.

That's what Nancy -- spending Mike Huckabee says it's not spending when you're letting people keep more of their hard earned money.

-- -- -- -- Real spending it shall we need to have -- how many times you heard her say if that's a common theme with -- -- well it's a common thing with liberals and the perception is.

Your money belongs to the government and they -- you have what they think that you need according to their standards.

And that's the most nonsensical thing about how economics functions that one can ever here and it's why.

That the Democrats really believe that higher taxes are perfectly -- because they believe.

That their power to tax.

Is there.

Right in keeping with their idea that it is their money after all they're just getting a little more of a -- summer it sounds like when they say that that.

Lowering your taxes let you keep more of your money is spending is something they think they deserve all of it.

And you're lucky to have what they give you absolutely is their money and so all of -- if they give you look but some taxes back and they've spent money.

Because they've let you keep your -- in their world in this magical world of liberals.

That's spending because you've got to keep your money it never occurred to them.

That we're the ones who are spending our money to pay the taxes to fund a government that's way bigger than it ever should have been check out -- some examples of things we're spending or -- spending our money on.

-- the first 12 and a half billion dollars of snapped.

The area two and a billion dollars in improper snap payments made in 2012.

I got a hunch -- probably a lot higher than that this 10947000.

Almost a billion dollar million dollar billion dollars million.

Out of 47000 -- spent.

In 2012 the study the best food for astronauts.

Heat on Mars Mars bar that's what usually -- -- that's real simple I can save on a million dollars on that one.

For what about the -- that's not good for the -- it's only for -- only from Mars -- because you know -- -- -- -- -- of -- -- whether -- the robotics world the 277000.

Dollars for -- refers.

-- it it's it's clear that the government does not have.

A revenue problem Eric last year the government had.

A record year in revenues the highest ever.

So if we're not balancing the budget with that much more money than they've ever had.

Giving them more is like giving an -- -- which he to a seventeen year old with the car keys.

You know to a Mercedes it doesn't make any sense right so hard to -- -- -- -- a billion bucks on the -- there are 300000.

These things just balloons from -- But -- the White House or should they be -- them -- them well of course not they're doing that strictly because it is a way.

To create this imagery.

That all the sequestration is just.

Devastating to the national budget we'll stop the wine tasting that the USDA's.

Gonna have out and the wine country of California.

I think meat inspections are probably more important than wine tasting those -- the kind of decisions that the government is making arbitrarily.

To try to inflict as much pain on the political -- but life.

I -- I Benson earlier we talked about about why did they want to scare us.

Why they -- -- have us feel that that is going to be painful well because the president needs for to be painful he said it was going to be.

He's basically been caught with so many Pinocchio is according to the Washington Post.

Debt that now if he says well it really wasn't that bad part but I got to go but I want to ask you -- but but there are Republicans also that -- warn -- of sequestration so.

Most of them because the defense cuts in there are going to be some consequences they're not good because there's no discretion.

That's what needs to happen discretion.

Good judgment we don't have either one of those things operative in Washington right now -- -- what's coming.
