More Obama sequestration drama

More Obama sequestration drama: FAA claims spending cuts force closure of 149 airport towers. $637 million in cuts in a budget of $48 billion. “It is worth noting that, the specified towers in the FAA Contract Tower Program were all operational in 2009, when the FAA received less funding than it will under sequestration.” Political theatre of the absurd.

  • This is just.like the scam of releasing illegals before the sequester even went into effect. And cancelling Whitehouse tours when the docents are all volunteers. It's carp.

  • They could reopen 80% of the towers by simply not sending the $500 million to the Palestinians.

    edit:
    Then, let's not even talk about the weapons and cash being sent to Egypt!
