| Maybe he is going to explain that the cuts that the democrats want to make are actually reductions in the increase of spending, while a reduction, this is still an increase. Then, he will point to the tax increases that the dems want to put in it and make the argument that it will do nothing to start reversing the trend of over spending. If you believe everything he will say, it will be 100% democrats fault and no fault of the republicans, who are once again being blamed for something that is not their fault. Or so they want you to think.

CBO | Long-Term Implications of the 2013 Future Years Defense Program The DoD has been reducing budget for the past few years with no increase planned for the next several years. The impact of sequestration to the DoD budget is actually pretty huge.

Because of furloughs. Furloughs mean that children are going to be going without iPods and people will have to settle for bone-in chicken. :( GURPS likes this.
