Sequester: Funding for music, cookbooks, and iPhone apps but no funding for veteran tuition assistance

 As I have written about in the past the Obama regime has cut tuition assistance for our veterans siting the sequester as the reason the cuts were needed–we simply do not have the money to help out heroes better themselves, that is the position of the Obama regime.

  Yet the federal government has still been able to pay for services such as education assistance for Pakistanis, helping to ease the human-elephant conflict in Africa, and taxpayer subsidized haircuts for Senators so I suppose this just shows us that the money is there for programs the Obama regime does want to support, he has just chosen not to support our veterans.

  But it gets worse still.

      While our veterans have lost tuition assistance the Democrat controlled Senate voted today to continue funding government-promoted winery music, cookbooks, iPhone apps and winter festivals.

  And if that isn’t bad enough the federal government has awarded Yale with a grant of nearly $400,000 to study the cork-screw shape of duck pricks–you can’t make this stuff up.

  We can clearly see that the Obama regime’s priorities do not lie with helping veterans better themselves through higher education but rather with making the sequester cuts as painful as possible on the American people in order to gain support for undoing the spending cuts which really aren’t spending cuts in the first place.
