Naughty Naughty Austerity

Just a gentle reminder....September 30th our country goes into government shutdown. Republicans are resisting any new spending bills which would qualify more tax funds for Obamacare. If Obamacare spending plans are not cut the government will go into shutdown.
(This is the same Obamacare that Obama, his family and all of Congress is exempt from. Because it's going to be just that good. )
I hope the Syrian conflict is resolved by that time. Because the immediate cut of 20 billion dollars to our military due to a government shutdown might harm our armed service personnel. It just might.

 I may not agree with any military action in Syria (aw hail No), but dang it if they're going to serve they better have a hot meal on the battlefield. (Unlike our military in Afghanistan).

It's a chess match. Could this be a good rationale for our nation to engage in sectarian violence in the Middle East?

Is our President dangling our military as a pawn for the Republicans to spend more on Obamacare? Is our President paying for Syria with a check our country---our military---cannot cash?

Greg Sargent, Washington Post, August 19, 2013:

Congressman Van Hollen gets in touch to explain the added $20 billion in cuts to defense further.

“Earlier this year, changes were made that gave defense some preferential treatment under the sequester, and therefore cushioned the 2013 cut to defense,” Van Hollen says. “That beneficial treatment does not apply in fiscal year 2014. In fact, under current law, defense will go back to being treated the same as non-defense. Because defense will not receive that preferential treatment in 2014, it will face an additional $20 billion cut compared to this year. The cut will be $20 billion more next year.”
