Compelling arguments, for sure.
Conservatives, however, aren’t buying into the Left’s sensationalism and mindless claptrap, and they’ve hijacked the silly hashtag in the name of reality:
Hi, #JobsNotCuts. Here is @BarackObama 76 DAYS AGO taking credit for the sequester. whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/12/1…—

With the sequester cuts, the federal government is going to spend MORE than last year. These people are morons -> #JobsNotCuts—

Government has created so many jobs that unemployment is exactly the same as it was when Obama was sworn in…The first term #jobsnotcuts—

If Obama was truly interested in creating jobs, why did he raise taxes on the job creators? #JobsNotCuts—

#sequestration cuts 2.4% of the federal budget. Yep. That's it. But go ahead with your #JobsNotCuts nonsense.—

If Obama were truly interested in creating jobs, he wouldn't have passed Obamacare, a job-stifling monstrosity. #JobsNotCuts—

There have been fewer jobs as spending has increased. Solution: more spending! #JobsNotCuts—

The premise is that cuts will keep us from gaining jobs, as if NOT cutting the past 5 years has led to great job growth. #JobsNotCuts—

How many jobs will be lost if the Dems never let us address runaway/unsustainable spending? You've been warned. #JobsNotCuts—

#JobsNotCuts cutting governments income is bad, but cutting peoples take home pay is just fine #tcot—

Something is mentally wrong with a guy who came up with the sequester, pushed it, signed it, bragged about it, and now says #JobsNotCuts.—
