THE HIGH PRICE OF SEQUESTRATION



We’re down the road a few years and it seems that the drastically-reduced Pentagon budget is having its dire consequences.  Air Force General Mark Walsh is warning that in just a few years, air superiority in the world will belong to either the Chinese or the Russians. 

COMMENTS:
Wow, what will Obama do if he can’t send in bombers and drones against I.S.I.S.?  It’s already a foregone conclusion that we are no longer able to defend ourselves against two enemies at the same time.  As it is, things don’t show any signs of improving.  Not only is our troop strength down, training is no longer as good or thorough as it once was and our military hardware is beyond ancient; out B-52’s, for example, have been around for 60+ years.  Sleep well tonight; maybe even the British will be returning. 

TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. I just read there is a move on to prevent concealed-carry permit holders from being able to carry guns on school campuses in California.  I didn’t know you could carry any weapon, concealed or not, on a school campus in California. (Jake ~ Dunsmuir, CA)
A. The exemption was made on the theory that if you had a concealed carry permit you had some degree of common sense and responsibility.  Now, although not a single shot has ever been fired by a concealed carry permit holder on a school campus in California, the state legislature wants to jeopardize the lives of students by leaving them totally at the mercy of a malevolent shooter while at the same time ensuring that no one will be able to take such a shooter down. 

Q. I didn’t see anything all that exciting in the Hillary emails that have been released.  Are we on a wild goose chase?  (Sondra ~ Littleton, CO)
A. She had total control over what emails were released to the State Department and the State Department had total control over what was released to Congress.  You surely don’t expect anything embarrassing to see the light of day, do you?  And, I suppose you still believe in the tooth fairy? 

Q. What do you have to day about the revelation that health insurance premiums are going sky high under ObamaCare?  (Kitten ~ Boulder City, NV)
A. T.S.  You asked for it, you got it.  Quit eating steak and lobster and get used to hot dogs and Ramen.
