Thanks, Orrin Hatch for clarifying the GOP "Message." In a speech to the Utah legislature, Hatch said yesterday:
"I'm for sequestration, We've got to face the music now, or it will be much tougher later."
Then he said sequestration
would lead to an economic disaster in Utah as two-thirds of civilians working at Hill Air Force Base would be furloughed. He said it would be
"devastating to our nation's readiness."
