This sequester-panic nonsense is the phoniest thing since Y2K. Not only is the $85B "cut" not a cut - it is a reduction in the projected growth in spending - it is orders of magnitude too small.
Instead of a 2.5% trim to the projected behemoth, there should be an immediate 10% across the board CUT from last years expenditures, plus another 25% selective CUT phased in over 5 years.
Start by completely sh*tcanning the Dept of Ed, Dept of Energy, EPA, DHS, HUD, OSHA, CPB, Dept of Ag, ACF, AoA, ADF, Amtrak, BATF, Bureaus for: Consumer Protection, International Labor Affairs, Transportion Statistics; Center of Nutrition, Commission of Fine Arts, Commission on Civil Rights, Community Planning and Development, Corporation for National Community Service, Dept of Health and Human Services, Department of Labor, Domestic Policy Council, the Endangered Species Committee, Employment and Training Administration, the EEOC, FHEO, FEMA, Freddie and Fannie and 200 other agencies, bureaus and departments.
