Is it obvious that Republicans demanded spending cuts, and now will blame Obama for the results...?

Targeted spending cuts wow. He really does have you on your knees doesn't he. Open up and say AHH.. slurp slurp *gulp* goes the libby 0_o.

Yes, and Congress could overturn the sequester any time they wanted. Its Boehner’s sequester! http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/20... Paul Ryan selling the sequester over and over and admitting it’s what the Republicans wanted on video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NYzjMs-6M... 174 Republicans voted for the sequester.

Rep. Jim Jordan (R-OH) on sequester: “I would say the only thing that’s worse than cutting national defense is not having any scheduled cuts at all take place.” Rep.

Steve Scalise (R-LA) on sequester: “The consensus is we want the sequester numbers to come in and to finally see reduced spending in Washington.” Rep. Mick Mulvaney (R-SC) on sequester: “We want to keep the sequester in place and take the cuts we can get.”

Rep. Paul Broun (R-GA) on sequester: “I want to see it go into place.” Sen.

Rand Paul (R-KY) on sequester: “Not only should the sequester stand, many pundits say the sequester needs to be at least $4 Trillion to avoid another downgrade of America’s credit rating.” Remember, Democrats voted to stay in session and work on this. Republicans voted to take yet another vacation and sent Congress home – while trying to say it’s the president who doesn’t want to work this out.

As always, the GOP is protecting the top 1% while screwing the poor and middle class. The bottom line on this whole thing is it's about inequality so huge it's threatening to push us into another Great Depression. Here are some examples of the subsidies Republicans don’t want to talk about cutting: Oil and gas subsidies: $94 Billion Corporate jets and yachts: $4 Billion Hedge fund managers: $17 Billion Scrap the Sequester, Solve Inequality http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14711-... There was an article in WaPo this week that looked at income disparity.

In 2011 the top .01% of this country made an average of $24Million. The bottom 90% made an average of $30,000. One in three American families (46.2 million Americans) is living at or near the poverty line.

Thomas Hungerford of the non-partisan Congressional Research Service hasreleased a new study on wealth and income inequality in America. He looked at a recent 15 year period in the country and found that, “by far, the largest contributor to increasing income inequality (regardless of income inequality measure) was changes in income from capital gains and dividends.” Right now in America, the average teacher or public sector employee pays an average tax rate of 25% to 35%, and a surgeon or family with two college-educated incomes can pay up to 39%. But then there are this nation’s wealthy elite, the Mitt Romneys of the world, who currently pay a maximum capital gains tax rate of only 20%, and often much less than that because the capital gains and carried interest tax is both progressive and subject to being reduced by thousands of loopholes and deductions.

In fact, the capital gains tax rate hasn’t been this low since the late 1920’s, and we all know what happened then: The Great Depression. http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/14711-scrap-the-sequester-solve-inequality New study badly undermines GOP position on sequester http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2013/02/20/new-study-badly-undermines-gop-position-on-sequester/ Yet, Republicans are still trying to sell to the American public that what the wealthy need is protection on their income. That is a crazy, crazy prescription for this country.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
