Everyone agrees the sequester is dumb, because it blindly cuts everything (except, of course, the entitlements that are the real problem) across the board. So the Republican House offered President Obama an opportunity (the Inhofe-Toomey proposal) to decide how to distribute the cuts, in order to make the cuts in a more rational way.
Guess what? The President wasn't interested, because then he would actually have to decide what to cut and what to keep, and he didn't want to have to make those decisions, or live with the political heat that would come from them. Probably clever politics, but abysmal statesmanship! The president clearly would prefer to cut nothing, raise more taxes, increase spending some more , and ignore the ballooning debt.
I'm disgusted with Congress, as are most people, but I'm getting disgusted with this president as well.
