citanon,
the cuts on it were also equal, and equally ludicrous. the whole point of sequestration was to be so bad for both sides that they'd -have- to come to an agreement. that didn't work out. sequestration wasn't -designed- to be a proper deficit cutting mechanism.
Setting aside the illogicality of requiring two entirely different categories of spending to be equal, how is that actually different from sequestration other than just saying, spend away, spend everything?
