Earnest,

That's a terrific link.

Wikipedia just nails the history.

No obvious political bias to my eye.

I remember now that I was very upset when Republicans agreed to extend the new debt ceiling past the 2012 election.

I felt Conservatives held at least 50% of the political high ground on the debt issue.

I saw one thing that gave me a little comfort.

I thought the Defense Budget was going to be cut $55 billion a year for 9 years if the “Sequester” became law.

No - just a one year absolute cut.

Then, a slow increase each year, but less than the expected rate of inflation.
