Obama and the Dems are sending the message that any government cuts, however small, will be a disaster. It reinforces their message that we don't have a spending problem, but rather, a revenue problem. Increasing revenues will reduce the deficit--or so they say.

That said, I believe both parties don't want to see a reduction in spending or even the growth of spending. When you have the Reps echoing what the Dems say about how painful the sequestration "cuts" will be, they are just reinforcing the Dem message.

I fully expect a last minute deal using some accounting gimmick to nullify or nitigate sequestration. It will be another Rep cave or rather another "Good cop, bad cop" charade. Then it is on to the next "crisis," the continuing resolution.

In the meantime, we have a three ring circus with gun control and immigration garnering media and public attention. It is part of the Dem strategy to divide and conquer and overwhelm.

the cnn meme is that the senate and house have agreed to universal checks (aka full registration) and magazine limits. (aka reducing life saving)

I heard Boehner say that I was really wondering why. Then I started thinking that perhaps he's trying to get zero to meet with him so they can discuss the obvious targeted cuts but that would cut zeros legs out from underneath him so I don't see that happening any time soon.

Truth is budget cuts are like holy water to the dems.It destroys them.

When the day comes that they can't buy votes with our tax dollars they are through.
