The Sequester is the ultimate IED rigged
to rip the foundation from the lives of Americans wherever they take for
granted any services from the federal government. This post will not explain
the Sequester but merely point to it.
On the face of it, the government will suffer a thousand cuts to the
tune of $109 billion a year for ten years.
We’ve seen or heard of some of them and fidgeted a little in our seats
from the sound of it. But this is just
the first round. There will be cuts upon
cuts upon cuts. We are not talking about
cutting fat. We are talking about
amputations, and sick surgery, doing away with redundant kidneys, lobes of
liver, all teeth and a small amount of jaw bone.
I have no desire to be the Cassandra of the blogosphere. I will not harp on the Sequester by describing
color and texture, as the quicksand rises to our nostrils. Neither will I ignore it. I’m opening up a new page on this blog
entirely dedicated to the Sequester. I
will mostly re-blog without comment by providing links.
This is a real service. Thank you. Compiling reports of all the damage instead of leaving it to the media to report on one isolated injury after another will bring the reality home to those willing to face it.
