I'm kind of happy with sequestration. It's a really stupid way to cut spending, but it has the tremendous advantage of being able to cut military spending as much as social spending, something that has been impossible previously. Sequstration-like cutting may be the only way to get any sort agreement between such polarized positions as we have today. But, how can the (D)'s raise revenue and tax the wealthy that have been making out like bandits for the last 30 years? I don't see how that happens, even after this massive (R) defeat.
