Honestly, I don't know what this is.

Just something about it would help.

Thanks

Yeah, nothing has changed except that someone has come up with a more complex sounding word to describe what was previously known as QE1,2,3, fiscal cliff etc.

They are releasing undocumented criminals onto our street instead of deportation or REX 84 detention.

The Congressional Research Service defines sequestration this way:

"In general, sequestration entails the permanent cancellation of budgetary resources by a uniform percentage. Moreover, this uniform percentage reduction is applied to all programs, projects, and activities within a budget account.
However, the current sequestration procedures, as in previous iterations of such procedures, provide for exemptions and special rules. That is, certain programs and activities are exempt from sequestration, and certain other programs are governed by special rules regarding the application of a sequester.

However, the dictionary defines sequestration this way:

Noun
The action of taking legal possession of assets until a debt has been paid or other claims have been met.
The action of taking forcible possession of something; confiscation.

But the O had never ever even submitted a budget
Doesn't he know how to balance a checkbook yet

It's really simple.
The politicians are basically saying they will punish everyone but the ones responsible for this mess, themselves.

The bottom line is that out of $3.5 TRILLION in federal spending this year, the sky will fall if we cut that amount by $45 billion.

By law the government must decrease their spending by 2% which is $85 billion out of a 1.6 Trillion budget. Small pittance really but they are going for scare tactics.hf
