➡️Sequestration and the Federal Budget
When sequestration was first put in the Budget Control Act of 2011 to encourage Congress to reduce the federal deficit by $XXX trillion by the end of 2012, the White House and Republican lawmakers alike praised the mechanism.
And then came the budget cuts. And nobody wanted to own the sequester. So who's idea was it? You might be surprised to learn that Washington Post veteran reporter Bob Woodward pinned the sequester firmly on Obama.🐦‍⬛🐦‍⬛
