Government by Tantrum

The Senate voted yesterday that the FAA has discretion to manage where cuts to its budget can occur. As if there was ever any doubt. Welcome to government-by-tantrum Obama style! That's right folks, if we the people have the temerity to mess with the Federal budget via our elected representatives, then BO and his minions will make sure that we feel pain. Never mind that the current FAA budget even with the sequester is larger than last year's allocation. Never mind that management could have made selective cuts among non-critical personnel and no cuts among controllers. But N-O-O-O, hit 'em where it hurts so they'll keep their mitts off our dollars and shut the heck up! Heckuva way to run a government that is supposed to be by and for the people.
