The "Sequestering" Scam Mar 10th 2013, 16:05 Quote: This is classic austerity: cuts at a time when the economy is weak, followed by job losses. And the tragedy of it, the really significant thing to be conscious of, is that Simpson and Bowles and Fix the Debt are waiting on the sidelines here to jump in and say, "Well, this is so disorderly. You know, we don't want to have across-the-board cuts." And what they are really arguing for is a systematized austerity, one where you have very, very wealthy people deciding what sort of fixes we will have for our economy. And at the end of the day, invariably, the fix will be to lower their tax rates while at the same time taking deep cuts out of the earned benefit programs that Americans desperately need. http://www.democracynow.org/2013/2/2...h_cuts_looming :mad:
