This guy thinks we are to stupid to do math? Says he is going to explain this problem because he used to be a teacher. Thats an insult. By the way he was fired from his teaching job.

With all due respect Congressman it was a nice bdget anaology except it doesn't explain the effect of $85 BILLION DOLLARS has on people. It is all about the money NOT about what good that money does in services here is a breakdown by state and categories of the "effects". Cuts not thought out and negotiated by Congress, like Congress is suppose to do. Their Job! It is not one big pot of money. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/special/politics/sequestration-state-impact/

Why don't you do the math on the tax loop-holes your party will not deal with for the most wealthy and big corporations? Please don't insult the teaching profession and your constituents!

I just saw a UTUBE vidio with Bentivolio wearing a CIB. Combat Infintary Badge. I would like to see proof that he earned this..

Yo - I thought it was the republicans that were up in arms about the sequester, Kerry. They approved it, about the only thing that they *have* approved in the past 4 years other than referendums repealing the ACA. If you're so upset about the budget, let's bring the troops home where they belong, and cut our defense spending by about 75%. There you go, crisis solved. But wait - we can't cut all that corporate welfare, can we?

The GOP offered to cut loop holes but the President wanted instead to raise rates because he does not understand an economy as complex as ours. Congressman Bentivoleo took out to explain this because the President and all of his media minions have spent the last month trying to scare us. We need to cut the federal budget, we have already raised taxes. Tell the Senate to pass a budget, the House has already passes one, at least twice.

In 1992 Bentivolio owed $620,000 to a bank and more than 30 vendors. He declared bankruptcy and cheated them out of their money. Now he is giving us math lessons on the economy? We are in big trouble if this guy gets near any of our tax dollars. We need to dump him now. ONE TERM and GONE!
