Boehner needs to be the one who manages cost, being no one else will. Man up, Speaker.

Another obscurity is the tax revenue to GDP, it’s down to 16% because there is less economic activity, not because Democrats need to raise taxes to increase the tax revenue to GDP ratio, Mr Julian(FOX Business Block), that’s not how Macroeconomics works, your only advocating tax increases that have been shown to decrease total GDP.

[Son House]

Government did get a raise, that’s another point Boehner needs to follow up on, Democrats got their tax increases, Republicans needs to show the data it decreases tax revenue collected.

Well Obama, if you so regret having to issue these orders, you can always resign the office. Then you need not suffer such anguish.

I'm more concerned about a concealed (illegal or just plain stupid) action by the administration (e.g. Fast and Furious) that sets off a currency war or increases in interest rates or enables a war through negligence. They have way overplayed the consequences of this sequester, but in an effort to cloud their own deceit and blame the GOP in the process I wouldn't put anything past them including shooting the whole country in the foot.
