Well, we'll know the answer(s) in a relatively short period of time unless the monetary deadlines coming up somehow get pushed back. I'm enjoying your set of posts on the up coming sequester and debt ceiling, Bread. I know you supported Obama, but it nice to hear a voice that is rational from your side. Here is my prediction on the debt ceiling talks: Obama won't come up with anything or propose any solutions. He will tell "Congress" to come up with something, but they won't be able to agree and Obama either be a bystander or will make things worse by attacking/blaming Republicans. So the Republicans in the House will at the last minute vote to give the Obama administration 3 more months before the debt ceiling will get hit again. For the sequester, I am really looking forward to it and would like to point you to Bob Woodward's book, where he mentions that the original idea for the sequester came from the Obama admin, so he should stop trying to blame Congress for the sequester as the WH had to sell Harry Reid on it as he opposed it. If Congress can agree to change the composition of the cuts, maybe we will see some different cuts, but if not then I am very happy to bring on both the Defense Cuts and the Federal Government discretionary spending cuts. Please stick around and learn a little truth from the non-left wing-nuts that post here.
