Really? Because I recall that the sequester was put in place because the House Republicans refused to raise the debt ceiling and pay the bills they had already accrued until the left agreed to budget cuts.

The sequester (that Conservatives know nothing about, mind you) came about because they demanded cuts before they would pay the nation's bills.

Yes, a definite messaging problem here...
....or we can listen to you whining liberals who think we can spend our way to prosperity. Tax and spend,...tax and spend,...tax and spend,.....that's the liberal way.

Forget about living withing the income produced by tax revenue,....just crank up the money printing press and "full steam ahead". If the federal government spends enough of someone else's money the liberals will be happy.
