What a load. Sequestration causing flight delays. Sequestration causing police and firefighter cuts. Sequestration causing blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Bull. The sequestration was 2%. It was nothing. It was a drop in the bucket. Delays, fuss, muss, and bologna happen because the government and it's departments are the most incredibly inefficient constructs ever to disgrace the planet with their presence.
Anyone who's ever run a business, or for that matter, successfully managed a families finances, knows full well that 2% is a significant figure to find a way to cut, but it's easily accomplished by prioritizing your needs. The Federal Government couldn't prioritize, and for decades has kicked the can. Then they ended up making this ridiculous deal as a "compromise" between the D's and R's so they could punt once again.
Now it's back and it's biting them in the ass. The D's are blaming the R's, the R's and blaming the D's, and nobody seems to recall that this was a bipartisan compromise on a neglected budget.
Any department could easily cut 2% and still do their jobs. As a matter of fact, I'd venture a guess that most departments could trim well over 25% and still be effective in doing what they are actually supposed to be doing. They need to prioritize. Get it straight. Stop wasting money. People are tired of working and working and working to give 1/3 of their earnings to the Federal Government to be used to support duplicate and triplicate projects that aren't a necessary or proper role of Federal Government in the first place.
Enough is enough. Congress, stop bitching about the 2% cut hurting services, and start talking about why you have people in charge of departments that can't be trusted to run their departments properly. Don't fight the symptom, fight the problem!
