So the study by Reinhart and Rogoff that brought us the austerity movement and sequestration was based on bogus math.………..http://nymag.com/daily/intelligencer/2013/04/grad-student-who-shook-global-austerity-movement.html……….Colbert did much of his show on the story, including an interview with Thomas Herndon the grad student that discovered the error.………..http://www.colbertnation.com/full-episodes/tue-april-23-2013-eric-schmidt
And now the Republicans are trying to blame this on Obama. He never wanted these cuts, they’re a stupid idea, and they were a hostage ransom for the GOP’s irresponsible threat on the debt ceiling. Maybe next time the debt limit comes up, the GOP will stick to their guns and destroy more than just the poor and air travel. How much damage will they do to America before even conservatives start to notice that the government does stuff that we want done?
What is President Obama doing with the remaining $3800 billion dollars he gets to spend this year?
If President Obama gave a million dollars to EVERYONE in Atlanta, Boston, Detroit, San Francisco and WashingtonDC, he would still have enough left over to buy GM, Ford and Chrysler.
What IS he do with all that money?Penny wise? I don’t know but definitely Dollar foolish.Certainly not running the government efficiently.
The administration decides how to enact these sequester cuts, and the leader of the admin is the one who came up with the idea, so complain to Congress. OK, sounds good to me.

No such thing as a “moderate republican”, I agree.
