MIHOP or LIHOP? [View all]

So we're in the process of restoring funds to the sequestered stuff that the rich and the crazy want restored. Air Traffic Controllers today, perhaps the military tomorrow, etc.

Meals on wheels? "Make no mistake, in these difficult times we all must make sacrifices blah blah blah..."

So the 99% get #%^*ed again.

My question: was this the intended outcome of the sequester, or are Democrats folding like cheap lawn chairs? Frankly, I can't tell on this one, although I'm leaning towards the former.
