Yes, something might actually happen when rich political contributors actually are inconvenienced by all the tommyrot going on inside the beltway!
As long is it’s just the average citizen being bothered, the Politicians won’t be too concerned, but when the guys with the big bucks start to complain, THEN you will see things get fixed in a hurry!

Actually, Boehner said it was 98% of what he wanted. The Republicans were very, very proud of the sequester after they extorted it. Now, not so much.

To the media, all pain is just political theater.

While you criticize Republicans for the sequester, you should remember that 51 of 57 Democratic Senators also voted for sequester.

Let the Sequestration BEGIN!
I’ll gladly start.
I.e., if it hurts me personally, fine.

Now the airlines have something to blame the delays on.
.
The president will cut the things that taxpayers want, and ignore the bloat.
The pain is intentional.

I just want to know how we can flush money down with the magic green job failures of Obama’s payouts and the loony left do not miss that tax payer money that was spent on the failure of “stimulus”
Yet Obama who was going to use a scalpel, but now instead use a sludge hammer to the growth of what we might spend and all of the sudden it is a big deal?

@HOWGOZIT – I think smaller airports will have fewer delays because their security check-ins are not as long as major airports. Think what will happen in 10 lines are dropped to 8 at Chicago, Atlanta, Dallas, LA, NY.

Interesting that folks today don’t remember at all that Reagan did the same exact thing, with a different “title” back when he cut budgets and called for “RIF” (reduction in force) to try getting rid of a bunch of federal employees, like well air traffic controllers over the “union flap”. Reagan not only had to back off and raise taxes, he also INCREASED the number of federal employees (appointees especially), just as “W” did! Check out the creation of “Homeland Security” and the addition of 33 new departments and appointed minions to run them!
There are a lot more serious cuts proposed (at actually 17% loss of budget, not 3%) in many agencies that don’t carry the publicity of TSA, but do more important work. (Hint, it is NOT “defense” contractors and “civilian” employees.)

Why we will fly less planes, burn less fuel and send less CO2 into the atmosphere

How about trying to change the tenor of the agencies. How about offering healthy incentive bonuses for departments that cut spending and become more efficient in their operation? Nobody knows the waste and fraud inherent in government programs than those that administer them.
