“We’re operating under sequestration now. It continues and there are automatic sequestration cuts in January that total 109 billion. “
Sequester is just a budgetary guideline until an appropriation is pass, with this deal the funds are higher than the sequester guidelines so for all intents and purposes sequester has been gutted.
