Adam Smith actually said...

"the best thing Congress could do right now is one way or the other turn off sequestration."

"But this notion that somehow torturing the discretionary budget and torturing the defense budget in particular to force us to get a budget deal is ridiculous."

"Transparency doesn't, you know, buy us necessarily a pain free experience, but I think it makes it work better."

"Everyone here, I am sure, hopes that a budget deal can be reached, eliminating the damaging effects of sequestration on critical national interests."
