On the sequestration levels, I sort of agree. But I don't think there was ever any chance those levels would change in this process. The only way they could have changed would have been a budget conference between the House and the Senate. That was a separate process which the House refused to join. Thus, the sequestration levels stayed. In a sense, it's a Dem win since the sequestration levels for next year are now, explicitly, a part of the so-called budget conference process.
