Can anyone explain to any of us why sequestration is being used like a dull scalpel to hack away at expenditures which put little more than a dent in the $85 billion which must be shaved from a budget more bloated than Grandpa Amos' prize hog?

The overseers of sequestration, the government's admission that it cannot possibly live within its means even when the means are increased per annum ad nauseum, are taking dead aim at programs and individuals powerless to do anything more than take it on the chin. Simply stated, average Americans will suffer so the kings and queens of government can eat steak while the peasants eat cake.
