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.

to keep the same size government has to increase by the inflation rate. if it doesn’t then it IS a cut.
