Probably reads the same for every state. Sigh

According to the news reports I heard, every working American has taken a 2% pay cut due to tax increases. It's not the end of the world. We will have to adjust.
The sequestration is about a 2% cut in the budget, and still leaves more than the federal gov't spent in FY 2011-12. It's not the end of the world. They will have to adjust.

The amount is like pissing in lake michigan

nothing noteworthy

It is how they are going to about cutting.

Same ole fearmongering by going after the important stuff instead of their pet projects

Both sides picked their poison with a purpose in mind

The left got their cuts and the right got theirs

An across the board 2% would not even be noticed but they chose to inflict pain where it would be felt the most and make the most noise

Shameless despicable politics

And meanwhile the media plays right into their hands as co-conspirators.

sorry to derail the thread but thanks

this is political theater at its best though and I hope everybody realizes it. If anybody is impacted by the so called cuts I feel sorry but we elected these morons so at some point the voters have to face up to being accountable
