And What Is The White House Going To Sacrafice?

There is going to be mandatory budgets coming soon, courtesy of President Obama and the Democrats and now they are whining because the budget cuts may actually happen.
Of course, the White House is coming out trying to scare people, like this from the LVRJ:
Trying to ratchet up pressure on Congress, the White House on Friday detailed what it said would be the painful impact on the federal workforce and certain government assistance programs if "large and arbitrary" scheduled government spending cuts are allowed to take place beginning March 1.

They include layoffs or furloughs of "hundreds of thousands" of federal workers, including FBI agents, U.S. prosecutors, food safety inspectors and air traffic controllers, said White House budget officials at a briefing and in a fact sheet that included these examples of what the cuts would mean:

- About 70,000 young children would be kicked off Head Start, 10,000 teacher jobs would be put at risk and up to 2,100 food safety inspections might have to be canceled.

- About 70,000 young children would be kicked off Head Start, 10,000 teacher jobs would be put at risk and up to 2,100 food safety inspections might have to be canceled.

-Up to 373,000 "seriously mentally ill adults and seriously emotionally disturbed children" would go untreated, up to 1,000 fewer National Science Foundation research grants and effecting some 12,000 scientists and students could be threatened, many small business loans denied, workplace safety inspections curtailed, federally assisted programs like "Meals on Wheels" slashed and 125,000 low-income renters put at risk of losing government-subsidized housing.

- Approximately 424,000 fewer HIV tests could be conducted by state agencies working with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and some 100,000 formerly homeless people, including veterans, would be removed from their current housing and emergency shelter programs.

The White House said the so-called mandatory sequester cuts represent a threat to national security and the economy.

"There is no reason - no reason - for that to happen," President Barack Obama said Friday.  http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_OBAMA_SPENDING_CUTS?SITE=NVLAS&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT

Actually, president Dumbo, there is a reason for this to happen:

But Republicans have so far said no.

"We agree the sequester is the wrong way to cut spending," Brendan Buck, spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, said Friday. But he added: "The president got his higher taxes on the wealthy last month- with no corresponding cuts. The tax issue has been resolved."

So, what is the White House going to cut because of the budget cuts?  How many trips will Obama postpone because of budget cuts?  How many vacations and rounds of golf will Obama not take because of budget cuts?

How about Congress?  What are they going to cut from their budgets?  How many trips are they going to postpone?

As far as I am concerned, the budget cuts can happen and I really don't care.  If Obama and Congress cannot come up with budget cuts on their own, then the mandatory budget cuts need to happen.
