Umm, wasn’t the sequestration option the GOP’s idea to begin with?

It’s funny, but as I remember it, the GOP refused to accept any deal that didn’t include cuts, and were willing to let the country go into default if Obama wouldn’t agree to cuts. So the White House put forward an initial set of cuts, plus a “doomsday” set that only kicked in if a supercommittee couldn’t agree on a plan forward. The GOP agreed to all that, then sabotaged the supercommittee from Day One.
