To The Bone

How can this be? I have been assured by those in power that the budget has already been cut to the bone and that if we cut one single thing we’ll end up just like Somalia in no time. The Telegraph:

Rooms have to be found for dozens of Secret Service agents, someone has to carry a selection of presidential basketballs, and of course the family dog needs his own state-of-the-art aircraft.

Arriving in the idyllic coastal retreat of Martha’s Vineyard in Massachusetts, Mr Obama left behind him in Washington DC high profile debates over the budget, government surveillance and his health care reforms. Instead, he will spend the next eight days playing golf, going to the beach, and buying books from the Bunch of Grapes bookstore.

In the air he swapped his suit and tie for khakis and a blue shirt with rolled-up sleeves, while Mrs Obama wore a yellow-and-white summer dress.

Bo, the president’s Portuguese Water Dog, arrived separately on one of two MV-22 Ospreys, a hybrid aircraft which takes off like a helicopter but flies like a plane.

I have nothing against the president vacationing, but using tax dollars to facilitate travel for his fucking dog is goddamn insane. Fuck his dog. If he wants his dog to travel with him, great, but pay for it out of your own fucking salary, not mine, asshole.
