I think the conservative position in this fight was clearly on the side of NOT spending more money.

There will be a push in the budget negotiations to modify the sequester. The democrat’s plan all along was to use the GOP love of the military to bribe them into accepting higher non-defense spending and to raise taxes.

The failure in leadership was when the sequester was designed. Now we are left with only bad options. Not winning elections can really keep you from getting what you want. It’s time we learned that lesson and focus on majorities.

We didn’t get what we wanted but the Politburo got everything that they wanted.
