Rep Gomert was on the radio today saying Tax paying Americans took a 2% hit Jan 1st with the increase in payroll taxes and people had to tighten their belts but no one was going bankrupt because of it. Sequester cuts less than 2% of the federal budget so if Americans can survive with less than so can the federal govt. was also brought up that CBO estimates cuts more to the tune of 43 billion, that's less than the Feds pumped into GM to save them. If GM is "roaring back" then subsidize the loss of 43 billion by selling our stake in GM and there would still be 7 billion left over.

BHO proposed the cuts and now wants to vilify republicans for it, so much for ending name calling, compromise, and bipartisanship.
