Sequestration, the set of automatic spending reductions set to hit on March 1, barely makes a dent in federal spending over the next decade. Much larger spending cuts are needed to rein in growing spending and debt and avoid a debt crisis. [Ed.: Gee, ya think?]
Federal spending is projected to grow from $3.6 trillion in 2013 to more than $6 trillion by 2023, a 69 percent increase without sequestration. Even with sequestration, federal spending would still grow by 67 percent. Sequestration barely even slows the growth in spending, let alone cuts any spending out of the overall budget.
Not to worry, though: according to Paul Ryan, the entire economy will have collapsed before 2023. No society can continue to borrow trillions per year, just as no family can borrow millions per year without having to present a plan to pay that money back. We call it a "budget" -- a term unfamiliar to the traitorous Democrat "leadership", which has failed to produce or pass a budget that is required by law since they took power in 2009.
In colloquial Spanish, sequester (secuestro) means to kidnap, to hostage, to ransom.
Which is fitting, as that is precisely what the President is doing. He is holding the American people hostage -- releasing dangerous prisoners, compromising national security -- in order to increase taxes and spending. He is, of course, addicted to taxes and spending; and only a serious intervention can stop him. In this case, shutting the government down for a few weeks could be the intervention we need.
