The Pentagon Trigger: Reid Vows To Hold National Security Hostage For Tax Ransom – With Video

August 2nd, 2011 (16) Posted By Pat Dollard.

The trigger is that if Congress does not agree to what spending items to cut next year, the new cuts would go into effect automatically. These include draconian cuts to the budget of the Pentagon, cuts which the Pentagon has flatly described as “dangerous”.

The Right Scoop:

This is exactly what I said would happen, that the Democrats would hold the trigger option (which includes over 500 billion in defense cuts) hostage unless we raise taxes. It hasn’t even passed the Senate yet and Harry Reid is already saying it on the Senate floor.

Real Clear Politics:

“We’ve had too much talk the last few days of Republicans as early as this morning, Republican leaders in the Senate saying there will be no revenue. That’s not going to happen. Otherwise, the trigger is going to kick in. The only way we can arrive at a fair arrangement for the American people with this joint committee is to have equal sharing. It’s going to be painful. Each party if they do the right thing, it’s going to be painful for them because to be fair, we have to move forward. There has to be equal spending cuts, there has to be some revenue that matches that,” Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) said on the floor of the Senate right before voting started on the debt deal.

Increased revenue from taxes was not included in the debt compromise. The “Trigger” mechanism was.

    Somebody needs to stuff a sock in that worm’s throat, preferably one soaked in potassium chloride.

    I’ve been convinced for quite some time that evil is hitchn’ a ride with that guy Reid.
     
    That aside… I’m beginning to come to the conclusion that most of the ruling class in D.C. simply does not understand what makes a currency have value. If they’ve been told, they don’t believe it, they believe that the government can print it and it automatically has value just like all the currency printed before it.
     
    And more than likely, the Central banker types like the midget Lil’ Timmy Geithner are looting all they can from the system, enriching themselves and buying, probably offshore, as much gold as they can.
     
    After all, if one builds the system, one knows how to bend it over a barrel and screw it.

      it would not be the first time for this waste of skin that Nevadians continually send to Washington to annoy the rest of the country.

      Yo, Charlie, make that Las Vegas and Reno, the rest of us tried, but we are seriously outnumbered. There are more people in Vegas and Reno than in the rest of the state. All we need to do is win the senate and we can send that little worm from Stoplight into obscurity.

      Yea Las Vegas needs to be cut off Nevada and given to California, trust me. The rest of the state including me hates him. Look at the population numbers of Vegas vs. the rest of us normal people. It’s “Nevadans” by the way.

    I have totally cleaned this e-mail from all other names, sending it to you in hopes you will keep it going and keep it clean.  This is something I will fight for and I hope you all read it all the way through.  You will be glad you did.The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18-year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified!  Why?  Simple!  The people demanded it.  That was in 1971   . . . before computer, before e-mail, before cell phones, etc.Of the 27 amendments to the constitution, seven (7) took 1 year or less to become the law of the land   . . . all because of public pressure.I’m asking you to forward this e-mail to a minimum of twenty people; in turn, ask each of those to do likewise.In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message.  This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 20111.    Term Limits       12 years max, some possible options are below.       A.    Two Six-year Senate terms       B.    Six Two-year House terms       C.    One Six-year Senate term and three Two-Year House terms2.    No Tenure / No Pension       Members of Congress receive a salary while in office,           that salary ends when they leave office.3.    Congress members (past, present & future) are to participate in Social Security.       All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system            immediately.       All future funds flow into the Social Security system,             and Congress participates with all Americans.4.    Congress can purchase their own retirement plan,           just as all Americans do.5.    Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise.             Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%.6.    Congress loses their current health care system           and participates in the same health care system as the American people.7.    Members of Congress must equally abide by all laws            they impose on the American people.8.    All contracts with past and present members of Congress are void effective 1/1/12.        The American people did not make the contract members of Congress enjoy,         Congress made all these contracts for themselves.         Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career.         The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators,            so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work.If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people, then it will only take three days for most people     (in the U.S. ) to receive the message.  Maybe it is time.THIS IS HOW YOU FIX CONGRESS ! ! ! ! !   Now PASS this around to everyone you know and lets make this happen ASAP!on a side note, why does that guard have an M-4 at the capitol? those Congressmen and women must really know how disgruntled the American people are with them.-aTbFight For Freedom, not for yourself but for your children!
