Sequestration.
He's a disaster.
It will cut money.
And will likely have our asteroids -- meteors.
Are you heard them if those automatic cuts kick in three million bucks meant for sandy cleanup will be gone.
David does does the Obama administration actually chose to put -- on the -- and want to make.
The scary point and Christine as the market is wondering why congress can't -- it.
The victims like her she hasn't been since the storm had much -- -- over.
Back with us now with negatives that in the latest excuse -- -- you're you're in a pickle is because the -- -- -- Bible.
Do you think -- -- you know.
I just I think that he relief effort is still not reaching hurricane victims.
I've had issues that Red Cross most recently.
I have to tell you I'm starting to think and I -- take a lot of heat thing that's right now permanent and do it.
I thought I think that Red Cross since the biggest scam selling.
Now that the problems that you've been having.
They were there were problems long before.
-- these latest.
Sequestration fears announce it right in other words.
You're not getting answers and or money or -- of any sort long before this thing hit the fan now what do you think of at -- nowhere.
Using this.
As the reason potentially why you're not getting.
I don't think that that's the reason why we're not getting help I just think that's adding more fuel for the fire just another excuse -- just another excuse it's just another way to make life more difficult.
You know David I do wonder -- all of these hello basis end of the world -- scenarios of the latest course being.
You know -- the -- the sandy victims of how they're gonna be it by this like Christina.
But why don't we.
Do that now the administration knows full well the latitude.
It and others have.
-- it with these cuts of that I always hear they're constrained of this this past that the three billion an -- to sandy victims is automatically sacrifice.
Airline security is automatically sacrifice to beef inspectors automatically sector.
Is that true.
Well this is what is known in Washington is that Washington monument strategy you know we wrote about in today's editorial in the Washington examiner.
-- -- take whatever is going to affect people the most.
And upset people the most and you cut that because that way you can -- sort of teach people teach voters teach politicians.
A lesson about what happens when you cut spending and freedom and prosperity cost exactly whatever the current budget is so if you couple -- of that then you you know you have to make everybody pace that they don't try it again.
And unfortunately it seems like we're.
You know we're getting these threats basically from bureaucrats who will be later in the year spending money to go to government conference's.
And the Bahamas.
Currently threatening we're gonna make you wait in line for six hours at the airport.
We're gonna close down your regional airport we're gonna fire we're gonna make sure that firefighters and policeman Paul had another that's also Indians -- that's all Republicans won't act and -- and that's the idea it's whoever's in power right is trying to shift the blame to the other side.
You know -- I know it less than any viewers news.
It was -- a democratic or Republican this news as it is now yes get -- some help.
Now we have a new excuse doubt -- will we'd love to help you would love to be there for -- not for those evil Republicans of these.
Obstinate.
Politicians who who you know who couldn't strike a deal with their life depends -- what do you think.
Well it's funny because I thought abuse concisely -- last -- I was my extension ran out with a hotel on to FEMA.
But have yet Annapolis when they were predicting the ballistic.
And so I think -- -- -- who went and some of those who touts -- yes -- -- yes but.
They were not empathetic at -- that situation I think that's and it's -- my car's rear wheel drive.
The car if you remember it's really although I have left after the storm initially right.
Says that the cars privilege right it's really not -- me to be going any long distance but that it.
Getting care there was nothing they really you know -- you -- -- we've helped to the best we can we wish you the best of luck.
Call the red cross and so that's what I -- Emanuel and that was another it's been two months it's -- them what are you doing now.
Now I'm I bounced back and forth -- seat.
With one friends for a few weeks closer month I think with another friend out -- Long Island for another week.
Now up in northern -- receipt -- I had ended enhance and hopefully I'll be back in my house by the end of next Friday.
So -- fixing your house next week yet they're fixing my house -- believe -- -- -- on the weren't quite but the problem means who has -- he -- -- expense from this is just.
In the -- it's just crazy.
And -- more to come sums it up.
Well.
I and that such -- old story in I you know.
My prayers god did this time.
But it.
You know it's it -- what's just incredible is after you see what he may indeed.
With all the troubles they had with the trailers that were sent out of Louisiana after Katrina.
You see pretty much how rescue effort after rescue effort there are so many snags here and we're talking about problems they came in long before the sequester so.
If this is going to be the next excuse for everything well that aren't -- that is going to be you know we're just gonna hear a whole lot of this stuff.
And and an extra -- an excuse to you know.
To cause people lot more pain and other small certainly less -- weighs in on the way you're experiencing -- it.
-- -- That's -- sequester politics are played unfortunately -- if the Washington monument -- already closed because that earthquake.
They would close it down right now also that's and that's you know.
