Obama: reducing government spending “like eating your corn seed”
Quote

“We don’t have an urgent deficit crisis. The only crisis we have is one that’s manufactured in Washington, and it’s ideological. And the basic notion is, is that we shouldn’t be helping people get health care and we shouldn’t be helping kids who can’t help themselves and whose parents are underresourced, we shouldn’t be helping them get a leg up. And so some of the Headstart, even deeper cuts in education support, even deeper cuts in basic science and research. And, you know, that’s like eating your corn seed. You know, it’s like, ah, being penny wise and pound foolish.”

He owns the crisis, dammit! But he's a cowardly muzzie traitor who lies about it all the time!

Yeah...no it isn't.  It's more like telling the bookkeeper and his two assistants and their secretary to get out and start swinging a hoe along with the dozen people who have been keeping the whole damn' field going up to now.

He can go eat some seed, but it isn't corn I have in mind.
