Looks like BO and his surrogates are backing off the hyper rhetoric of how bad the sequester will be. Now they're saying, "You may not notice it at first, but it's going to be a big hit on the economy eventually..."

These guys look like amateurs...

I saw an article on World News Daily (http://www.wnd.com/) via facebook about 19 hours ago, but it seems to have disappeared off the internet. It was talking about Federal Government agencies stockpiling massive quantities of ammunition ( hollow point bullets) and trying to explain it away as needed for target practice. Sarah Palin and some others were quoted saying that the US Government is panicked about riots and crime breaking out, and it had something to do with a reaction to the follow-on effects of a sequester. Has anyone heard or read anything about this stuff???

Yes, they have stockpiled, for a visual, 24 years of ammo they would need to fight a war in Iraq.

Deacon,
You can bank on them and the MSM putting out every negative story they can find and blowing that out of proportion.

That is what I read too. I couldn't remember the amounts they mentioned though.

Yes, that thought crossed my mind. I thought any hint at proving the sequester damaged the economy will be overplayed again and again.

What actually might happen is that the economy might improve as momentum for spending cuts increases and more cuts are made as Americans begin to see that large amounts of spending could be curtailed and it actually helps the economy because people will be feeling a sense of financial stability and that we're headed in the right direction. Consumer confidence I believe is what it's called.

Hopefully the last scenario, but when you keep spending because you have the money and lose it, it makes it seem like the sky is falling when you really just need an adjustment, like we do at home. They will be very dramatic with all of that transitioning in areas. At least I am looking for that to happen.

300,000 rounds a day or something. Does that sound about right? I don't recall the amount either.

Everybody's stockpiling. Have you seen the ammo shelves at Wal Mart? A man I know who works for a shooting range said his own personal ammo order was 2.5 months back ordered.
