Sequestration Follies: Editorial

Washington Times -- Here we go again. Lawmakers are once more warning that the nation hangs on the brink of unimaginable disaster. Another cliff, you might say. Five days from now automatic budget restraint is scheduled to take effect, and nothing frightens a politician more than restraint on spending. It was put into place after President Obama refused to agree to a plan for more responsible reductions. To enhance the theatrics, this reduction goes by the intimidating name of sequestration. The only problem with sequestration is that it doesn’t restrain enough.

Mr. Obama wants us to believe otherwise and tries to strike terror among the ordinary and the easily frightened.

More.
