Sequestration

I know it is the biggest issue going right now, but just consider this.  The whole crisis is artificial.  It’s not like a meteor hit, or a drought occurred, or a rogue nation dropped a nuclear weapon.  This was a crisis created by Congress.  This was a manufactured crisis.  

I have heard people say:  “Both sides should compromise.”  In real life terms, that means “We [Republican congress members] are not budging; the President must give us what we want.”  Negotiations don’t work when one side adopts a position and won’t move from that position.

The U.S. is more and more like some pathetic Third World country.  Is that the goal of Tea Party Republicans in Congress--to turn us into Mali or Chad?  Osama bin Laden would be proud of them.
