Post them here.

For the first time since 9/11, the TSA will allow retractable knives (with blades shorter then 2.4 inches and narrower than .5 inches at the widest point) as well as a certain bats and sporting sticks in carry-on bags

Sequester has a lot of good stuff in it like this, especially military cuts, and some bad stuff in it, too, like cuts to WIC, senior meals, homeless programs, tribal health, and early childhood education.

Question is, is the bad stuff worth it for getting the defense cuts? Personally, I say yes, because enough military spending means there's no money for anything else; no one would even be talking about having to cut programs for the poor if we hadn't blown over $4T on wars in ten years.

Getting rid of overzealous TSA policies on top of it is just a bonus.

We blew $4T on wars but we got to steal all that oi... oh wait. I was not for the war in Iraq, I was actually pretty perplexed about it at the time being only 14 or 15 and really having no knowledge about the realm of politics. Not that the money spent on the Afghanistan war has fed hungry American children but the US at least had a legitimate reason to invade there, though I obviously would've preferred getting out of there way sooner.

Yup, that's a good point, Afg was at least on a reasonable premise but got dragged out for a decade where Iraq was just f'ing nuts from the start.

I think you are confusing Afghanistan with Pakistan again.

OOPS!

It's the mountains in the region of NEAfg/NW Pak where most of the problems came from, a territory of isolated tribal communities that both countries share but that is almost its own country beyond the reach of either government, so to say Afg is being conflated with Pak, a common critique; well, geography already kinda did that for us.

DEMOCRATS ARE SOCIOPATHS

THE POINT OF SEQUESTER IS TO DO NOTHING AND INCREASE THE BUDGET

WHO PAYS? ONE WONDERS
