they couldn't shut the gov't down so they settled for the country.
some who are blaming the Pres. will never see that end to fruition because it's not him it's the right wing congress that signed also and dared to allow such a horrendous thing to take place because they just can't get their hands out of the asses of big business, we are suffering because of right wing political posturing no matter how they spin it if tey had worked with the progressives who knows how low the unemployment would be?
Starting March 1, federal programs and their state and local beneficiaries began grappling with $85.4 billion in cuts mandated by the Budget Control Act of 2011. Some programs have been spared—Congress voted to restore tuition assistance for members of the armed services and, just last week, restored funding to the Federal Aviation Administration to forestall flight-delaying furloughs.
But for the most part, the cuts have remained intact. Six weeks in, we took a look at how sequestration is has impacted 50 states, from canceled festivals to shuttered Head Start programs to massive layoffs.

Birmingham: North Albama public defenders office furloughing 11 of 15 employees.
Huntsville: Huntsville Housing Authority, which provides heating, plumbing, and financial assistance, to serve 300 fewer people.
Jefferson County: Head Start program closing for 10 weeks, affecting 276 kids. Fifteen staffers will be furloughed.
Alaska
Sitka: Bill Brady Healing Center, which treats Native Alaskans for drug and alcohol addiction, closed as part of $3.5 million in cuts to the Southeast Alaska Regional Health Corporation.
Fairbanks: Alaska Volcano Observatory is cutting back on volcano and earthquake monitoring.
Eielson Air Force Base: 18th Aggressor Squadron will be grounded until the end of the fiscal year.
Arizona
Window Rock: School district eliminated 40 positions due to budget cuts, considering eliminating 65 more and closing three schools.
Holbrook: Hiring freeze at Petrified Forest National Park delays filling five spots.
Phoenix: 30 research engineers at a defense contractor laid off.
