Mitch Daniels creates a false choice between sequestration (discretionary spending discipline) and entitlement reform. Sequestration was Obama’s idea, it was a scare tactic, his bluff was called, and we are all still here to tell the tale. It was a political downer for Obama, didn’t hurt the country or the Republicans in any real way, and has actually kinda sorta cut some spending. Mitch Daniels is part of the problem, still.

That would be nice, but you are misinformed.

Sequestration did and is harming the military.

Service Chiefs Warn of Sequester's 'Insidious' Effects

Thousands of doctors and nurses have quit the DoD in disgust. These are the same people who treat our combat wounded and people in uniform. Air Force combat wings are non-mission ready and cannot even perform needed maintenance. Only 2 Army Combat brigades (out of 40) are even trained and ready should a crisis arrive. Navy ships are being mothballed because we cannot perform depot repairs. Thousands of Marines will be tossed out of the service next year.

I could go on and on....but you have Google at your fingertips. Look it up.
