White House: Here’s How Devastating The Sequester Would Be

Article Photowe know for the past 4 years they have tried to bring down the gov't by declaring a no help war against the Pres. but by default "we the people" too.
If Congress fails to delay or turn off the sequester, the government and economy will be on highly uncertain terrain on March 1 — when nearly all government agencies will begin restructuring and curtailing their operations in ways that cut $85 billion from federal spending between then and the end of September.
“If we go past this date, there’s no way to implement the sequester without significant furloughs of hundreds of thousands of federal employees,” said Werfer. That’s in large part because there’s no ways for departments and agencies to move money around to protect top-tier services and programs.
“What happens is, OMB, we take this amount, this $85 billion that we have to cut and apply it to every account in government,” he added. “Every account has to be cut by a certain percentage. It’s not like the agencies can move money amongst accounts. But it’s even worse than that; even at the sub-account, there’s something called Program Project and Activity which exists within each account. And the way the sequester law is written is that even underneath the account — even at the Program Project and Activity — they all need to be cut at that same percentage.”
the T-Per's tried driving us off the cliff, refusal of all Pres. initiatives including "JOBS", blocking his positive actions to advance the country out of the depression they created, so really not hard to believe these arrogant azzholes won't do it again this time out of spite. 
just remember what ever they deny him hits you 10 fold, so when they start the blame came remember from which it came.

That’s a fancy way of saying there will be disruptions in some scary places.

“So for example, FAA, they have to cut resources in a way that’s going to impact the air-traffic control workforce,” Werfer added.
If the administration is forced to order the sequester, all government agencies except those explicitly exempted, will have to cut their budgets across all programs by enough to total $85 billion by the end of the fiscal year.
They have some latitude to determine how and when to execute those cuts, but they must have achieved them all by the end of September to comply with the law. And the administration is cautioning agencies not to act on the assumption that Congress will nullify the sequester in short order.
“I wouldn’t advise they rely on hope [for a deal],” Werfer added. “They need to execute plans that protect their mission, but as I mentioned, the legal requirement would be that when we get to September 30 … they will have to across government have spent $85 billion less.”
the republicans again are willing to jeopardize you and the country just in the hope of besting the Pres., is that leadership you want, or is it non leadership you don't want?
when the right wing fingers start waving stare down the finger it will lead to the reason.
