Sequestration is a bad bad thing

Here is a list of some of the very bad things that will happen in Louisiana if the sequester is allowed to go into effect.

Sequestration was sold as an arm-twisting mechanism that would goad congress into action.  But it's really just a game of chicken that can be called off at any time. Also Republicans, despite their whining, are mostly happy if the sequester cuts happen anyway.  This is the tax cut extension standoff in reverse. That time the Democrats had all the leverage but caved anyway.  This time Republicans are going to get most of what they want either way.

But everyone will continue to talk about how badly they're being beaten for some reason.
