After reading the latest in Republican denial techniques about the sequester ie. calling it "Obamaquester" and trying to hold out for more and more cuts in spending, I was furious and very afraid.
I really enjoyed last nights segment on the Lawrence O'Donnell show where he explained about the 5 things for which the President was asking, and how the Republicans, by holding out for spending cuts would actually achieve even less. Imagine that! In trying to block everything they end up with LESS when by compromising they would end up with several things for which they had been asking.
This led me to remember an economics class in college which was taught by a former businessman. He always said that as any good businessman knows...you have to spend money, to make money! Whether it was for advertising, product, supplies, salespeople, location, or whatever, if you ( wisely) spent the money you got more in return.
And if this doesn't seem to make sense to you, just look at Europe, Spain, Italy and Greece where drastic cuts in everything HAVE NOT led to a recovery but to an even worsening economy.
