The sequester will be the happiest day of my life because that is the fist time that they have EVER cut government EVER.do you all understand the significance of that? I toast to the sequester!
Alas, they didn’t cut government. Only in the Alice in Wonderland world of Federal baseline budgeting does the sequestration represent a cut to government spending: the 2% doesn’t cancel all of the built in increases to Federal spending produced by the baseline calculation: the Feds will still spend more this year than they did last year.
Just remember: a 2% cut is what all working families got when the payroll tax holiday ended.
