If it can be fumbled, this GOP will do it.

Never underestimate the ability of The Stoopid Party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

They don’t call them the stupid party for nothing. If there is a way, they will throw victory into the jaws of defeat.

Yep. The question is, is there anything they HAVEN’T fumbled away? Nothing comes to mind.

First, before any discussion of the merits of whatever this is about ~ if anything, although the percentage is very small ~ for all of us out in REAL LIFE a billion bucks is a billion bucks is a billion bucks, so all of this is huge!
In general most people have never come into contact with a billion dollars ~ so it's one of those numbers it's difficult to wrap your warm and fuzzies around.
Here's a nearby intersection that cost $1,000,000,000 ~ >http://potomaclocal.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/Springfield-Mixing-bowl.jpg

Oooh. This is an incredibly tough question. Hmmm. Lemme think about this a sec.
Yes.

Not to worry.
Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory is what the Gutless Old Party specializes in!

They’re not stupid, they’re bought.

The article has it wrong.
The numbers are what they are. The Sequester is only 80B this year but it’s going to be more and more each year for 10.
But even that doesn’t matter. The article seems to be a lot of no doubt written on deadline text about whether or not “deep” is a good word.
If you call the cuts shallow and trivial, then the DoD workers losing their jobs vote elsewhere. If you sound sympathetic, you at least might persuade them you didn’t enjoy firing them.

With McCain, Graham, McConnell, Boehner, Cantor et al., a fumble is guaranteed if not just their usual handing the ball to the other team.

Forgive my negative cynicism but I am of the opinion this whole issue was decided long ago (as many others have been).
What we are seeing is political theater.

What really matters, though, is in the driver’s seat in this battle. They can win…but only if they want to. They won't (win)...because they don't want to (win)
Hoping the Pubbies will grow principles and spines is like hoping a pregnancy will go away all on its own.
