I really do not understand the incendiary rhetoric being used by the president. Even with sequestration, the actual spending by government will slightly increase from current levels. That's a slight INCREASE. yet he talks of thousands of layoff.
One more thing--IMO, any politician who thinks first of cuts to fire/ police/ parks instead of cutting Congress's benefits should be tarred. Do they REALLY need their own private airline to ferry them around? Do they really think they are too important to fly light the rest of us? (Yes, many of them do--and for that reason alone-if no other- should be furloughed.)
