The RATS barely stick their heads out of the sewer they live in and they call it high ground.
This sequester thing was a Democrat idea in order to kick the can further down the road back in the past. Obama subscribed to it at the time by signing it. It is now his idea. He owns it.
The Republicans should let the hide go with the hair and stick to their guns. It is the only way to get the Dems to assign priorities to their spending by forcing them to make cuts. They have refused to submit a budget (which is a list of priorities) and by failing to do so they have now arrived at the end of the road and the can is still there.
That old saying that if you do not know where you are going, then any road will get you there. Well, the Dems don’t know where they are going (they can’t seem to decide how much debt and deficit is acceptable to them) so they prefer to just take any road.
