They don't like Sequestration?

Republicans keep whining about the 'Sequestration' even though if it wasn't for them, there wouldn't be one. As I told you a couple of weeks ago, ninety-five House Democrats voted against it and ninety-five for it, so if it wasn't for the 202 174 House Republicans voting for it, there wouldn't be one.

I also said in that post two weeks ago that we were spending $80 billion a year in Afghanistan. I was wrong; we're spending $120 billion a year there. So, we don't have a problem cutting the $600 billion over 10 years from the military as sequestration requires. Pull out of Afghanistan and we can still make those cuts and still have an extra $60 billion a year to spend.

Bottom line; Republicans shouldn't be whining about the policy they're responsible for. But, they are Republicans.
