re: #186 darthstar

It’s the same thing that happened with the FAA sequestration. The moment it affected Congress when they were trying to get out of town for recess, they moved to exempt it from the sequester rules.

Congress, and the House GOP in particular, failed to act to target the cuts in a way that would not damage significant portions of the economy and endanger the health safety and welfare of Americans. Instead, they are standing idly by while the cuts put the brakes on the economy and more than a few GOPers are happy about the cuts because they want to do even more - and if government fails, they can point to the failures as a sign that they need even more cuts.
