Found this Q&A about the Sequester. It does seem to explain something about this thing.
some quotes from the site.
"Q: Why does everyone hate the sequester?
A: Legislators on both sides don't like the sequester because the across-the-board cuts take them out of the fiscal equation. Because the cuts hit all programs equally, everyone's ox, theoretically, gets gored. "Sequestration was created to be hated," Harris said."
"Q: How would these cuts affect the country?
A: The White House and various government agencies have been releasing data on how federal agencies would deal with sequestration. Last week, a new report issued by the U.S. Army said Tobyhanna Army Depot could suffer more than $300 million in cuts, slashing its budget by more than one-third by Sept. 30. Fiscal organizations and special interest groups also have been outlining how they feel the cuts will hurt federal activities. While some have estimated longer waits at airport security and fewer food inspections, how the sequester would manifest in the everyday life of Americans is uncharted territory."
I really think this thing is stupid,like lighting a match to your foot to make you move..Just weird in my mind.
Your opinion and what things might effect you.
there is at least this.
"scheduled to begin March 1 and ending in 2021. The cuts are evenly split between defense spending and discretionary domestic spending. Wars and most spending on entitlements such as Social Security and Medicaid are exempt. The White House says cuts in 2013 will total as much as $109 billion.
