Reeps care nothing for this country. The rich are leaving to avoid a few bucks in higher taxes which they can easily afford and the Republicants are carrying their bags to the yachts for them.
We are getting tired of this excess DRAMA! We have had brinkmanship 7 times in the last 2-3 years. A big majority of even republicans would rather that the top 1% pay at the same rate as everyone else. Those with money make the rules but up until the last 40 or so years the rich WANTed to help keep our country in good shape. endowments, philanthropy, at least keeping the infrastructure in good condition. Now they want it all and they want it now, and try to make the poor, the disabled and the old, just disappear. But they also are doing it to kids! 40% of all kids live in poverty!
Howie, the sequester was “98% of what we wanted” from John Boehner, and the Republicans are the ones blocking a solution. It’s not Obama. You can’t blame the hostage situation on the victim.
Wow, Obummer invented the sequester in 2011, and states he will veto any attempt to stop them. NOW it is the Republicans fault. You are the uninformed.

Any predictions on how much longer it takes the GOP to destroy the economy completely? It could be about ten days. They are intent on doing that.
