Does the Sequester have any friends? Do we have anyone present who will step to the fore and defend it? It is vilified and demonified and just plain fried by just about everyone.
If it needs a friend, though, let me be that friend.
No, automatic cuts are not the cleanest. Yes, the cuts have hurt. But our deficit is so worrisome that something must be done. The Sequester was a step in the right direction. My lament is that it was but a small step. My lament is that the shame given to the Sequester has negatively affected our taste for budget reduction. My lament is that the deficit continues to soar and the need to do something is one of our sorest needs.
