Great article Pud; right on the money.

I don't know what you're cheering for, Barfly.....this is the most idiotic political choice the GOP has made since, well, Mitt Romney, or not voting for Sandy relief, or not voting for the Violence Against Women act, etc,etc,etc.....just another step toward one-party rule by the Dems. And that, IMHO, is not really a good thing, although watching this 'not your Father's GOP' bunch of assclowns go into the historical wastebasket will be amusing.

Seeing as what you done wrote/rote above, Slick?
It's a given, you agree, that the "Sequester" was Obama's idea,
his work, his agreement. Now, you're all sour grapes, that the Repub's
agreed with it. It's now in effect and you got a bad case of the.....
"Sequester Fester".

It's kinda like taking a punch....ya can lean into it?
Or, you can "roll" with it.

It's a great day.

well, certainly it was instigated as a make-do on the assumption that both the Dems and the Repubs would see it as so bad an option as to get to work on compromise. I do NOT think that Obama hoped it would be the final option.

Hope ya don't play cards or gamble "on the assumption".
That kinda play leads to disappointment.....often.

[Pudfark]

I do believe you're a dab disconnected today...Slick.
This contradicts what ya been saying and implying all day.
It ain't from Fox, it's from the Associated Press.

Sequestration Imminent, Senate Rejects Stopgap Efforts

WASHINGTON (AP) - Squabbling away the hours, the Senate swatted aside last-ditch plans to block $85 billion in broad-based federal spending reductions Thursday as President Barack Obama and Republicans blamed each other for the latest outbreak of gridlock and the administration readied plans to put the cuts into effect.

On the Senate floor, a Republican proposal requiring Obama to propose alternative cuts that would cause less disruption in essential government services fell to overwhelming Democratic opposition, 62-38.

Moments later, a Democratic alternative to spread the cuts over a decade and replace half with higher taxes on millionaires and corporations won a bare majority, 51-49, but that was well shy of the 60 needed to advance. Republicans opposed it without exception.

In a written statement after the votes, Obama lambasted Republicans. "They voted to let the entire burden of deficit reduction fall squarely on the middle class," Seems Obama is real selective on how he dishes out half the truth.

"Republicans have offered the President numerous solutions, including the flexibility he needs to secure those reductions more intelligently," McConnell said in the statement. "I am happy to discuss other ideas to keep our commitment to reducing Washington spending at today's meeting. But there will be no last-minute, back-room deal and absolutely no agreement to increase taxes."
