Just like with the sequester. It will normally not hurt anyone, but bitter Obama directs cuts with the intent to hurt, even though they are unnecessary.
The concept there is important to get out to people: that Obama wants to, and does, *hurt* Americans so that he can win a political fight.
Ask them, have you ever heard of any president willing to hurt Americans for petty political goals?
Truly he and those around him are an evil lot, and up to no good.
