Sequester Cuts: When and Where They’re Happening

By Dan Haar On February 28, 2013 · 3 Comments

The 2-year federal government meltdown is finally at Code Red and the sequester is here.

We have endless stories about the gridlock, the economic effects and the blame game.

But here, in one place, I plan to collect basic information in a usable form without bias: When and where the sequester cuts are happening.

The goal is to show actual cuts, not just predictions. In the early days, it’s still going to be more of the latter. Look for constant updates.

@ Dan: How about a story of what will happen to the US if we continue to spend $1T more than we have each year, if we continue to have the Fed buy most of this Treasury debt, and if we continue to rack up tens of Trillions in unfunded entitlement liabilities?

This sequester represents a 2.5% cut in the INCREASE in the rate of Federal spending. Its $80B out of $3.6T in spending. If we can’t even agree on how to trim this amount from our massive deficits, we are in deep deep trouble.

So we are all forced to cut back to pay for higher taxes, fuel, utilities & food – no big deal, but when Obama and his minions have to cut back on the money it borrows and increase its spending less than they want…then it is a major calamity, with the lap dogs in the media barking the loudest about the sky falling in.

I do consider all the ideas you have introduced in your post. They are very convincing and will definitely work. Nonetheless, the posts are very quick for beginners. May just you please prolong them a bit from next time? Thank you for the post.
