Sequestration and the "Manufactured Crisis"
Irony abounds when discussing sequestration, there are rumors of this mega 85B cut out of a 3.7T budget; not much you'd think, unless you consider trickle-down sequestration. When you remove, say 100K people from employment, whether entirely or marginally, you impact...everything.
When you remove a job or reduce a job, everything that person would have purchased has been removed. So while it seems trivial to remove a few jobs, or a few days of jobs, wait until the local Starbucks or Walmart begins firing folks because they aren't turning enough revenue. This doesn't start/stop with the Federal government. The problem we have here is the manufactured crisis that the current Administration and Congress seem to be fine with. Remember, this sequestration was thought up by the current President, as a threat to Congress. He signed the sequestration into law - he didn't believe his bluff would be called by the incompetent US Congress and worse, he didn't have a plan should it come to blows. Now we see the Democrats accusing the Republicans, the Republicans blaming the Democrats, and both of them going on vacation. It is ludicrous when you hear pundits from the left discuss "spending cuts"when you consider the overall spending that has been done, it literally is fractional.
Whenever you hear a liberal, Democrat, say "balanced" or "even" they really mean telling people with money to pay more. It really has become that easy. Democrats haven't proposed any style of true tax reform, such as a flat-tax. You only hear blame thrown across the isle. It is absurd, and it will kill America.
