Here is a list of programs exempted from sequestration:

My feeling is this — IT WON’T EVEN BE FELT BY MOST PEOPLE.

This country survived spending one trillion less than it does now up to 2008.

It can and will survive pretty well.

Actually, when you look at what is exempted, i.e., the entitlement programs and means tested welfare programs, which make up two thirds of the budget, it will be painful for DOD and other USG agencies. We are already almost half way thru the fiscal year making it more difficult to cut the budget.

Still, I favor letting sequestration happen. It was Obama's idea. Let him come up with the cuts.

It doesn't have to be felt by MOST people, just those close to him - Gobmint workers. They are going to start whining in a few weeks. These are the jerks that have to help implement Obamacare this year. You think you will even be able to get them to make a xerox for you after they get furloughed every other week? They are going to start singing the "we've been oppressed for so long" chorus you'll hear it all the way to the White House. Believe me, Obama will hear it ...
