It’s been four months since the world came to an end — by which I mean, the budgetary “sequester” that cut federal spending across the board went into effect.
Remember the sequester? It was going to be a nightmare, a horror show, the worst thing that ever happened. People would die in the streets, our defenses would be mangled, the elderly would starve, the poor would be evicted.
After all, 47% of Americans receive some form of government assistance, subsidy or benefit. Wouldn’t across-the-board cuts in federal spending end up hurting a large number of them? Wouldn’t the pain lead to fear and upset and rage, cause protests and bring Washington to its knees?
Those were the questions before March, when it came into being. Now that it’s July, the only real question is: What if they gave a sequester and nobody cared?

The Obamas did not have to cancel one vacation due to the sequester. I don’t know what the ‘RATS are complaining about.
Another democrat fear failure.
The apocalypse was canceled by the Jaegars blowing up the Kaiju.
Considering the sequester just hit 650,000 workers last Friday.. the results won’t be felt for several weeks.
Ummmm... what?
I agree with the title, but have a suggestion to improve both the sequester and future budget cuts: forbid the use of employee furloughs to meet the cuts, and require that before public-facing services are cut an agency show it has already cut all GAO-identified redundancies and waste. The executive branch had two years to figure out what to cut to meet the sequester targets, and instead of going to any effort to identify redundant programs and genuine waste (not even the effort to read GAO reports that have already done that), they cynically reached for furloughs of civilian DOD employees and cutting public services to create the false impression that budget cuts are harmful.

No, it was when the rift thingie was sealed up..

Watch a Pacific Rim trailer, ‘canceling the apocalypse’ is a direct line from the movie.

GraceG - I know that but I didn’t want to spoil movie. I loved it on IMAX 3D.
For a Giant Robot vs. Giant Monster film there was a lot of good backstory on WHY there were giant monsters and giant robots fighting each other.
Which was a very good thing in my opinion!
