Editor, Gazette-Journal:
Sequester has become the buzz word equated with huge slashes in vital programs and will be used as the excuse for cuts that aren’t necessary but will be done simply for shock value and to make those who have supported spending cuts to look bad.
What sequester actually amounts to is that over the next 10 years, instead of having our federal spending increase by $1.7 trillion, it will increase by $1.6 trillion.
