Sequestration... more doom and gloom?

Yep, we raised taxes. Where are the spending cuts?

Good question. The bummer and his minions already increased taxes. Where are the real cuts? They're talking about reducing the rate of increase (not even any cuts), and the leftists are screaming that the world will come to an end.

We've seen this game many times, and we know how it goes. Taxes will increase, spending will increase even more, and the middle class and future generations get screwed. The president himself (correctly) said this is lack of leadership..... before he got into power and decided leadership was no longer needed.

I am not sure why people are so worried, politicians work for money only, once in the 11th hour their pockets are filled, they will fix this one too, just like the last 4.

This time was different though. They kicked spending up first then went after the tax hikes.
