Yes. Just as long as the belt is tightened in the right places. They have to get after the excessive waste....not the necessities.......quit building bridges to nowhere and leave the required military alone.

Why wouldn't they draft Romney to formulate a plan? It wouldn't be unpatriotic just to listen to it.


My guess, a "Romney plan" would make too much sense, and be way too simple--------that would require a total re-think of the present directions--------a real no-no, I suspect, in the minds of the present Admin...

Oh Barry, there you go again making far too easy the solution for the typical voter in America! :lol:

Tell that to the Border Patrol guys who are getting a pay cut. Tell that to the workers of San Diego defense contractors who will be seeing contract cuts and fewer RFPs.

Look in the mirror and tell that to yourself when there are fewer people hiring your services. Some want belt tightening, well get ready to tighten yours.

[Edited on 3-5-2013 by SFandH]


So by your logic, we have the wrong people making economic decisions in Washington? I think those of us who voted for the other guys, know this would happen.


Wait, Romney suggested closing tax loop holes:light:

Don't take it personally. Besides....the system could use some ideas...doncha think? They wouldn't be executive orders....just ideas.

Dennis-------------of course your ideas here make sense-----I should have said so in response to your point above. The Admin. apparently does not want to confuse the issue with "more ideas"-----that's all I can figure out. The Romney's weekend interview was exceptional, I thought.

They always like to threaten cuts to "police, firemen, teachers and now border control agents"... It's always things that are "hot buttons" with the public. I never hear of the types of cuts that any well run business would make when they have a shortfall of revenue.

Interesting info


Today, in a meeting in Ensenada with US citizens, the US Consul General Andrew Erickson, based in Tijuana stated that SENTRI lanes and SENTRI staffing was a top priority with DHS/CBP during sequestration.........only time will tell.

However, furloughs of DHS/CBP/Border Patrol personnel will start April 8th.....which means less booths open and less personnel to staff the booths at ALL border crossings
