Elephant: The democrats will be sorry when they're scraping bits of me off the walls and... hmm... perhaps I didn't think this through! Suicide Budgeter...
Sequestration is a cowardly approach to cutting the budget to try and make it look like Congress has to act rather than them taking responsibility and DOING something. It is idiotic. Most of them could quite easily put an agreement together (except the Tea Party fanatics who think like Rand that entrepreneurs can overcome physics), but are afraid to be held accountable for actually taking action that might contradict their “official” stands in the course of a compromise.Politics IS compromise. Not a showdown.
YES, let the republicans ‘show us’ by holding their breath until they turn blue, or put themselves out of our misery. Isn’t there some space ship that would transport all these bozo’s up into outer space? What a wonderful world it would be without them.
Sequestration is the REPUBLICANS way to screw everyone, and avoid the blame, just as they’ve always done since “Reaganomics” drove that shaft through the heart of the economy, and “budgets”.
Rogers is so WRONG on this subject….1. Prez Obama proposed the 2013 sequestration plan.2. the person with the bomb control is Prez Obama, and the Democrats are the ones who put the bomb-belt on the GOP to try to force them to cave in and sign whatever Obama and the congressional Democrats write….which would be perhaps 45% phony imaginary cuts and 55% more new taxes.

Let sequestration happen. We have to take the fall and work through the process at some point and time, IMO the sooner the better.

Problem is, the voting public – which no doubt includes you – interprets “compromise” as “betrayal”.

The sooner the Republicans blow themselves up the sooner we can piece together a meaningful recovery.

Where in the Constitution does it say the President is responsible for writing a budget?
