(Reuters) - President Barack Obama on Friday signed an order that starts putting into effect across-the-board budget cuts known as the "sequester" after he and congressional leaders failed to find an alternative budget plan.
The White House released a copy of Obama's directive entitled "Sequestration Order for Fiscal Year 2013." Government agencies will now begin to hack a total of $85 billion from their budgets between Saturday and October 1.

Shovel ready!
I wonder if he did it so that his favorables will go up with the Tea Party voters? /s
The first order he signed was for no more vacations for Michelle and the kids.
He gets a waiver on this one, though. Reggie “His” Love, too.
He has also promised that if we raise taxes by a trillion, he will cut his vacations in half.
Maybe people are going to realize life can go on without gummit.
Pray for America
Perhaps.
BUT... the gummit is convinced it can go on with fewer lives to fund.
I’ve been paying out of pocket to rent a place 900 miles from home to work on a federal contract since June 2009. Paid first and last month’s rent to start. Next rent check is due in a few days. If I’m out of a job, my landlord gets notice and I go home. That saves me $1500/month immediately. It will be nice to see my wife and pups. Haven’t been home since Jan 2nd.
it’s his solution, why he was so opposed to it is just theater.
Hope all goes well for ya friend......
Were I chief cook and bottle washer of this bannana republic turned third world shithole no polidiot would be paid unless they did their jobs and passed a budget. Lived within the budget and were conservative with tax dollars .... ?!?!?
... What the heck was I thinking. The socialist rats and rinos are in charge with Erkel Mugabe at the helm..... run it up on the beach and let it rust out from under em.
Rant aside....:o)
Stay safe !
I hope it works out well for you. I spent many years on the road before I finally retired. I know what it’s like to be away from hearth and home for long periods of time. Be blessed.
Agreed. However, those people "realizing" make up less than 50% of the voters. We are still screwed.

That is SO funny, smooth.
While wtching the SOTU, I kept wishing Boehner would just reach over and head slap the VP.
LOL! If Boehner did that I’d take back all those bad things I’ve said about him! ;-)
So, will sun still rise tomorrow?
Yes, but only in the east.
He got what he wanted - government chaos and economic destruction.
“Raising my soda cup and wishing for 1000 more sequester cuts.”
I hope that soda is less than 16 ounces!
