(2,730 posts)Americans are spoiled. The sequestrian will accomplish what it was suppose to do. The only way to get congress from their Warmongering will be to cut their spending. That is the wast in my opinion, not Social Security or Medicare. There are plenty people already lost unemployment benefits if Congress hasn't notice. I also think the obstructionist habit of the Republican party needs to be broken. They should be looking out for the poor and middle class in their Districts, instead of people in corporate America or on Wall Street. They pacify people in their poor districts with earmarks and then serve people like the Kochs. Well, those earmarks are about to vanish. The Federal Government will be cutting them. It will be interesting to see how these Governors cope without Federal assistant, such as military spending in their Districts.
