2 secrets you may not know about Sequestration:
1. President Obama required it in the 2011 debt ceiling agreement. Not Republicans. President Obama.
2. When sequestration cuts go into effect, there will not be 1 penny of spending cuts! Sequestration is ONLY the decrease in the INCREASE in spending!
There are no cuts! The sequestration is only a decrease in the INCREASE in spending. No one will be decreasing federal spending by even a penny.
And your president was the party who required this, no matter what he says now. It was his requirement.
Liars, all.

You’re dead on, tannngl! I haven’t even bothered covering this, since it’s so ridiculous. Plus, you and Tom are doing the heavy lifting for me:

Too many of our elected leaders exist only to try to stir us up and worry us.
We’ve got a ton of reasons to worry with these jokers…and these ain’t one of ’em.
Nice, quick, to-the-point post.

Thanks for your comments! This is such a revelation to even my husband! Both Republicans and Dems are in cohoots on this one. When Tim Murphy, my congressman, sent me poll questions concerning what he should do about the financial cliff late last year, I told him I would be so thrilled to see just 1 cent cut off of spending for 2013. ONE CENT! Not gonna happen.
