1. I will never understand why Obama signed on to this right wing wet dream

The so called, 'sequester', was a bucket list of long stated Republican goals. Most of the stuff in it was so, 'unthinkable', that the GOP would never have pushed for them on their own, because it would have been political suicide. This is a direct result of Obama's nonsensical 'post partisanship' fantasies.

Did he actually believe they would undo it somewhere down the road? How could he allow them to fool him so completely?

2. And the dems who caved, compromised

and voted For this toxic carbuncle soup for us....wonder WHY we're Pissed and Mistrusting and Fed up?
I know I called and said NO...do NOT vote in support of this. It was so toxic out of the gate..there was No reasonable compromise to "make it better" to be made.
I suspect I was not the Only person to make those calls to the "Gang of Twelve"-6 Dems and 6 GOP.

We said NO...We were ignored. They voted how They wanted to. We're Screwed. And now, they don't understand "where we're coming from".

It wasn't just the GOP Sequester when Dems voted it in and POTUS signed the bill into law alongside them, imo.

never turns out well.

Offering up CPI for Social Security was a slap to the face

of every U.S. citizen.
