What garbage. Dutch is so used to lying that it has become a part of him. The sequestration is a cut in the projected increase in spending not a cut from their current budgets. This panic talk is just that. Cut from the programs the federal government funds that is not part of their Constitutional requirements. The federal government is REQUIRED to maintain the military. They are NOT required to fund school breakfast & lunch programs or welfare programs. Ho do what you do best Dutch which is absolutely nothing.

More lip service with no action.

Fred Flintstone, the Troll, and Our Friend Ben on Twiitter. What a joke!

Scare tactics abound. It is awful we have to be treated like little children. We should not notice any changes in anything from this 'crisis'. The amount cut is only equal to one month of Fed spending at the most....We will survive for sure. The Congress should really DO some work for a change, the POTUS doesn't do much of anything to cut our spending except spend more than we have.It is time to stop!!!!!!!!!!

Coming from the people who dont mind propping up big oil and banks. For your info johnny this pres has brought down spending so check your facts.We need to create jobs and why not spend more when the interest rates are so low. Lets cut off the the off shorers and give breaks to people who create jobs here! You create jobs and people spend more and kick start the economy. You cant cut your way back. If you own a business you dont stop buying product to sell cause thats a sure way to go out of business. If the private guys wont create jobs then the fed has to! After WW2 the fed went on a massive infrastructure building boom and we had one of our best times ever! Bold ideas,not sticking your head in the sand! Reagan borrowed massive amounts of money for a stimulus(yes STIMULUS) and within 20 years Clinton was running a surplus(yes SURPLUS). Or we can be Japan and poke along for 30 years barely keeping our heads above water and unemployment at 10% trying to cut our way out of a bad situation . And yes lets get rid of everybody in DC,I mean everybody and send a message to "Do Your Job"!

What a joke - a few months ago OMalley was running his mouth about how strong the economy was in MD. Anyone with a grain of sense understood that MD survived because of its reliance on the federal teat. Instead of propping up the private sector, OMalley drove out small businesses. So now he should be answering for the lost jobs. As for cuts - lets start with the golf courses at PAX, APG and Ft Meade. Do we really need bases throughout all of Europe? We could probably cut half the jobs at SSA with no effect. And yes - Arne Duncan and the Dept of Ed can go as well.

This is the biggest bunch of bull.No Agency will suffer if they don,t spend over the amount of the last time. The Dems cried for this and now they don't want it.This is their problem.

Joe you cannot just wave a magic "give 'em breaks" wand to make businesses create more jobs here in the US. You need to create a business friendly environment not pile on more and more taxes and regulations for businesses, especially for manufacturing jobs. Passing "Right To Work" legislation is also a must to bring back more businesses and before you or anyone else starts whining about how unions are still needed to "regulate" how businesses treat their employees, check the many lists of the top 100 companies to work for and you will see that less than 5% of them are union. Plus, "Right To Work" does not equal anti union it just means a person cannot be forced to join a union or pay union dues if they do not join. Maryland is not a Right To Work state and it is listed in the bottom third consistently for being business friendly. This is not the same economic environment as it was in the post WW2 era and we already tried to "stimulate" the economy to with nearly a Trillion dollars worth of so called shovel ready jobs that proved to be a complete failure. More government jobs is certainly not the answer in a time when our government needs to reduce spending not increase it.

This was done on Twitter because these guys dare not face you in person. Remember what happened in 2010?
>>>>>>>> Let us not fall for the Obamaganda.

LOL @ Barbara Mikulski tweet. She's been there a looonnngg time. Why do we have "outdated & unneeded programs" at all?

How about cuting your wages and become part of Obama's health care, and retire at 65 like the people that works for a living, Caongress and the senate has had a free ride for a long time, we need terms liments, and stop that loby money from coming in, The begining of the end starts in 12 years , just look at the schools, they will be voting , It's all over baby,

If you want to cut foreign aid thats 51 bil., I know I will not miss it., Take it from the Department of Education, They should not have the right to tell the states how to run the school system, the race thing is over 40 years ago, how much money is that,????

It's all obama BS!

On sequestration and Maryland Democrats, I would like to weigh in with the same advice I offered Governor O'Malley. Stop moaning about what might happen, start planning for what will happen, and get back to us on your plan as soon as possible.

Ruppersberger is a disgrace. He acts like he is intelligent about foriegn and military policy due to is APPOINTMENT to the House Intelligence Committee but he has been "schooled" time and again by his betters.

If you are still a Republican in 2013 you really need to seriously look at your life and the choices you have made that have gotten you to be so ignorant, bitter, and pathetic in life that you would still support the party of the "stupid" who's only goal is to destroy this country
..Basically, you are a DISGRACE to America!

341 jobs could have been saved from furloughs but I guess his golf game is more important then the American people.

Sanchez...You are EXACTLY who I am speaking of when I talk about ignorant, pathetic low life Republicans! No wonder what I wrote struck a nerve with you! You washed up, miserable idiots are everything that is wrong with our country. You are just scared, uninformed, and bitter about how your life has turned out.NO SELF RESPECTING INTELLIGENT person would EVER be caught dead calling themselves a Republican in 2013...They are the party of Old, the stupid and the bigoted and they are hell bent on destroying this country because they have become irrelevant.

ENOUGH OF THIS! We are citizens of the United States of America. We will work this out in the long run. If I have to junk all but the essentials, I will do so!

Of course the democraps had nothing to do with the coming sequestration cuts. It's all the rethuglicans fault. congress is the worst enemy America has....
