No matter what you do, running away from your mistakes or bad choices will always come back to haunt you. Doesn’t matter who you are, or your position. We are all responsible for our actions and words.
So, what does this mean?
Be careful. Do what is right? Understand your actions, decisions and choices affect more than just you. They affect everyone around you.
Funny thing about making mistakes; once done they stick around. Not all show up immediately with their shadowy consequences. Years later may be the end result.
The truth of these chain reactions is often they produce a can of worms.
In our modern media, if you have any political position or stage appearance, getting away with the repercussions of statements made in the past are feverishly played over and over. Just ask the President.
Backtracking on the “sequester” now imposed is hitting hard. The possibility of major financial cuts in government programs are waiting in the wings of the White House.
A few of the cuts looming are:
Thousands of federal jobs may be furloughed
Meals on Wheels will have less food to feed Senior Citizens
70,000 children kicked out of Head Start
Fewer food inspections
Research grants would be cut by 1000
13% from Defense which shouldn’t be cut at all. The military should be built back up. The Bible says if a government taxes its people, then they are responsible for protecting the people with a strong military. DO NOT CUT THE MILITARY!
Diminishing EPA monitoring of hazardous waste, pollution and oil spills
“Having first proposed and demanded the sequester, it would make sense that the president lead the effort to replace it,” Boehner wrote in Wall Street Journal.
In other words the President originally thought this was a good idea. He has changed his mind and blaming the Republicans once again if nothing is done to stop it. Why?
Many who elected him would be out of a job. (Did I miss something or did he just play golf with Tiger Woods? Somehow that doesn’t fit.)
The very people he promised to help would suffer.
It would make him look bad.
However, many of the Federal jobs and programs soaking the taxpayer’s money need to be restructured, changed or done away with completely.
What is wrong with getting rid of the fraud and waste? Why hasn’t this been an annual event? Think of how much money could be saved by weeding out the hogwash and debris?
Does the White House take the garbage out every day?
So this is one of the numerous times the President spoke to soon. He made the “call” long before he knew the consequences of such a “sequester.”
Proverbs 13: 3 “He who guards his lips guards his life, but he who speaks rashly will come to ruin.”
The President received tax revenue he pursued vigorously. Now, we receive less each month due to his tax hikes. Congress agreed to his “slap on our personal income” in exchange for cuts. Who knows if or when the President will decide to cut anything?
He can’t be trusted to keep that promise as he has broken so many so “let the mayhem begin.” (James Bond: Tomorrow Never Dies, 1997)
