What you are suggesting and advocating for--and I agree with--is a strategy of making alliances and partnerships.
What Congressman Andrews was essentially purporting is that we should measure risk looking backwards when we know what already happened.
I noticed that in the President's budget proposal that he does propose the replacement of sequestration. He also suggests that there still would be $150 billion in cuts in defense, not the $550 billion or so that we have otherwise.
In part, Mr. Van Hollen, who is the senior Democrat on the budget committee has a proposal that would defer the sequester for a year and replace it with a combination of cuts and revenue increases.
