| #5 Espec when the only real anti-Sequester plan US Politicos have is to keep raising the Debt Burden, + commit the US to a [temporary?] higher US Debt ceiling that has already been surpassed even before it comes up for Congressional debate or approval. |

| #3 The sequester was a lazy low brow approach to the budget problem. We only attacked the measly discretionary funding. What about all of those pork programs locked into long term appropriatations. If you wanted to fix the deficit and the budget, you have to go into all of the long term programs and start cutting with carefully crafted legislation that targets the over appropriation and waste. Of course with all of the lazy intellectual light weights in our government right now no one wants to really WORK at governing the nation. The Stimulus was thrown together and Obamacare was thrown together neither was given any serious review or analysis on cause, effect, or potential consequences. No one wants to work in Washington anymore, they just want to ride around in their limos and eat lunch at San Souci |

| #1 As a believer in the pendulum theory of history and politics, IÂ’m confident that some event or series of events will eventually interrupt and correct this destructive course,... And I'm sure that in the last phase of the Roman republic, there were those who shared the same thoughts. |
