The Sequester Is a Republican-Inflicted Wound

[Crabtownboy]

But the GOP will never admit they are the cause of the problem.

The sequester is here, with an initial $85 billion worth of haphazard and economically destructive spending cuts, a Washington wound almost universally described as “self-inflicted.” Let’s be clearer: It’s Republican-inflicted. It is a direct result of the insistence by GOP leaders in the summer of 2011 that they would not raise the federal debt ceiling unless President Obama agreed to dramatic spending cuts. One can argue that the growth of the debt or the size of the government justified that insistence; I’d disagree. But it’s simply a fact that every budget crisis of the last two years—the downgrade of the U.S. credit rating, the failure of the “supercommittee,” the fiscal cliff, and now this—stems from Republican debt-limit brinksmanship.

Actually the cause is people who vote for Congressmen and POTUS who just keep giving money away - especially for programs not constitutional - which in turn also makes Congressmen, Senators and the POTUS as part of the cause - regardless of party.

I give a high 5 to any Rep who is trying to cut the budget.! :thumbs:
