The current debate on the sequester is now only one in a line of political donny-brooks caused primarily by Republican intransigence on budget issues. Soon I hope to present some reasoned voices who would claim that deficit spending by a sovereign government is not necessarily a bad thing. Particularly with continuing threats to the so-called recovery, this is no time to cut back on government programs which stimulate job-creation. It is also no time to cut back on support to "first responders," and no time to cut into the bone of the military, either, for that matter.
The fine points of all this, including what should be the proper size of our military, will have to await another time. But surely it is no exaggeration to say the federal government has become nearly crippled by the Party of "No" -- the Tea/Republican Party.
