“Sequestration is a bad idea. I voted ``no.'' The idea for the sequester came from White House advisers. The President quickly signed the sequester and made it the law of the land. Now he has buyer's remorse. The House, in seeing the error of its ways, repented, and two times replaced the sequestration with rational cuts. The President's siesta Senate, however, ignored the House legislation and went missing in action. Rather than administer with a smidge less taxpayer money, the President blames others for his fate. This is in spite of his power to determine priorities in spending, so he says the sky is falling because his government cannot operate without more money. He does not have the ability to produce a balanced budget or cut back waste, duplication, inefficiency, or fluff. As the sequester is upon us, it is time for the President to lead America and govern with less money, but the President only knows one way to rule--tax more, spend more, and scare the people more. This is the inability to govern. And that's just the way it is. ____________________”
