The
sequester is an arbitrary date picked by the conservatives that allocates that
if we do not hit a compromise on government spending, we will have spending
cuts across the board of the U.S. What these government spending cuts will do
is cut government jobs for teachers, air traffic control, jobs allocated to government
personnel across the U.S. This is bad because Hundreds of thousands of people
could be out of work, or be mandated to take more days off, ergo making less money,
ergo funneling less money into an already dwindling economy that is trying to
recover. Now in this article, the author trys to paint the concept that the entire problem lies on Congress and Republicans. I can contend that both of these partys are at fault, but even if the majority of Congress is in control of the Republicans, Democrats need to grow a backbone. There needs to be more meeting across the isles and better communciation outside of congress. These days the senators just fly in for a joint session, then fly back home next week. There is no longer a sense of respect between the partys. These tax cuts will have a dentrimental effect on the economy, and the only people who are going to be influenced are the American people. Congress is not getting pay cuts or layoffs. By not having a stake in the big picture, again, they are showing how little they care for the country as a whole.
