Sequestration is back on the agenda and so is anti-austerity
hysteria.
Over at Politico, they're quasi-blaming the Navy Yard shooting on cuts.
The president of MIT says sequestration is "choking the innovation economy."
The Center for American Progress frets that "austerity kills."
The Atlantic says cuts are "undermining what makes America great."
The FBI is threatening a 10-day shutdown.
And President Barack Obama said in a speech this week that the sequester cuts "have cost jobs, harmed growth, are hurting our military readiness. And top independent economists say this has been a big drag on our recovery this year. Our economy is not growing as fast as it should and we're not creating as many jobs as we should, because the sequester is in place. That's not my opinion. That's the opinion of independent economists."
