Gossip and Hearsay?

So, Day 2 of the Sequester.  Biggest thing I've heard is the Powers-that-Be released around 2,000 illegal aliens that were being detained on the deportation list.  What were they being detained for?  They were caught in criminal activity. 

The news is reporting this as "hundreds".  It is actually around 2,000.  I think 2,000 is a bit more, conceptually, than 100's.  But who am I to voice concern?  Just a regular guy who goes to work every day wondering if my family will be safe while I am away from them, that's who.

I have also heard that these 2,000 criminal, illegal, aliens, were being held in Arizona.  Kind of a coincidental release if you ask me.  The state sets in motion laws, but since the Feds are the only ones with the power of deportation, 2000 get set free due to budget cuts.  Darkly ironic.

Oh, another thing I hear in the midst of everything else is ammo.  The various departments of government are stockpiling weapons, ammo, and targets.  I have heard that all this is for training.  I have also heard that this training is for homeland combat.  I have also heard the the bad guys they are training against are American Citizens.

My question still remains, why does American Industry continue to do business with government agencies knowing what we know about the ambitions to disarm American Citizens by lethal force if necessary? 

Talking about gossip and hearsay though.  Hey, it's what we all hear on the news every day.  Stuff like the POTUS is gunning for our guns and is planning on using the UN for back-up because, as we all know, the UN is already here in force.  Other stuff, like the sequester, is a big smoke screen. 

The sequester is only 82 billion or so dollars.  Compare that with 16 Trillion national debt.  Compare that with 5 Trillion.  It is just pocket change and just a fear tactic.  It's like me saying I am going to have to cut 5 cents from our grocery budget because the kids have failed to keep their grades up.  Just pocket change people.
