Mmmm I’m going to have to call this bs as just a part of the smoke and mirrors game the regime wants to play. They go from fear mongering terrorizing the nation to “oh poor us we can’t afford tours”! Know what? I’m fine with it, if it saves money (which I doubt) so be it!
……
Washington Times: The White House announced Tuesday that it was canceling all public tours of the president’s home because of the sequester spending cuts.
“Due to staffing reductions resulting from sequestration, we regret to inform you that White House Tours will be canceled effective Saturday, March 9, 2013 until further notice. Unfortunately, we will not be able to reschedule affected tours,†the White House said in an email.
The notice comes as both the White House and Congress try to find cuts to their own budgets as part of $85 billion in cuts to the entire government.
At the Capitol, staffers who use the building’s West Front entrance that looks out on the National Mall were told Tuesday that door would be closed as of next week in order to save money.
