Sequestration: Air Force Academy cancels July 4th celebration

Obama wants to make sure that we never cut anything again and that’s why he’s trying to make this puny $85billion so painful:

FOX NEWS – The U.S. Air Force Academy has canceled its annual July 4th celebration and military officials are blaming it on the sequestration.

“Faced with so many uncertainties about the future budget, we have to look at ways to save money,” said Lt. Col. John Bryan, Director of Public Affairs at the Academy. ”But for now, we’ve had to cut back on many things we normally would support.”

There have been accusations that the Obama administration is encouraging government entities to make the sequester budgets cuts as painful as possible for the general public.

There was widespread criticism after they shuttered the White House to public tours – disappointing thousands of school children who planned to visit what First Lady Michelle Obama once called “the People’s House.”

A U.S. park ranger told Fox News that the administration overruled plans within the National Park Service to minimize the impact of the sequester.

“Apparently, they want the public to feel the pain,” the ranger said.

The ranger who spoke to FoxNews.com, though, stressed that it was still just a 5 percent cut.

“It’s obvious that they want the public to feel the pain in order to push this agenda that Washington wants,” the ranger said. “A lot of these parks can absorb these cuts without the public visit being affected.”
