The Administration is working to make sure the “Sequestration” hurts you – yes, you – as much as possible:
The Obama administration denied an appeal for flexibility in lessening the sequester’s effects, with an email this week appearing to show officials in Washington that because they already had promised the cuts would be devastating, they now have to follow through on that.

Minnesota: where next years’ stupid Democrat ideas are tried out this year!
It’s about time the GOP recognized that deficit spending Obama’s Achilles heel. Not that it hurts him. It helps him and hurts conservatives, and pushes the pain of repaying the debt to his successor. If Obama couldn’t spend a trillion dollar a year more than he is taxing the citizens, he never would have been re-elected.
