With the Sequester, we are not addressing Entitlement spending. The Sequester only cover 37% of all spending (discretionary). Only a small portion of mandatory spending (Medicare reimbursements to providers) is covered under sequestration, and it is a very small portion.
Basically, the US military was raped fiscally so that Entitlements (including Social Security, Medicaid, Food Stamps, TANF, etc) would not have to pay dime.
And, Entitlements are exploding. 10,000 people join the retirement ranks (non working Americans) every single day. The number of people on SS Disability is nearly 9 million! One if five households is on Food Stamps. One in seven Americans gets a EBT Food Stamp card.
NONE of this is addressed by the Sequester.
The Sequester punishes the military, however, greatly.
