4 possible silver linings in the sequester
#3)

It seems there was very little effort to avoid the deadline, no sense of urgency. Maybe this is part of the game:Gives each side cover to make some politically difficult cuts to the budget with the plausible deniability of blaming the other side or the sequester itself. I think maybe we’re being played.

So now Congress is conspiring to appear gutless in order to make broad untargeted cuts in order to hit some targeted cuts that they didn’t have the guts to actually agree to make in the first place?
