WASHINGTON -- It's now an article of faith that dire sequestration warnings were overblown.
New studies downsize potential job losses because of the federal budget cuts. Agencies have figured ways to ensure that the more alarming effects (no food inspectors!) are avoided. Government organizations are coming up with methods to delay severe disruptions. Congress isn't debating a replacement. The media have lost interest or have reduced it to a political argument. The economy was supposed to be brought to its knees by the $85 billion in cuts. Instead, we trudge along in a new normal.
I don't see anything on that list that is super important, just the United States tightening its belt and cutting less important things like
11. Convention industry suffers nationwide.
15. Families that rely on Head Start targeted in Bethlehem, Pa.
29. Air show cancelled in Rapid City, S.D.
45. Research funding cut in Gainesville, Fla.
100. Cruise passengers inconvenienced on the high seas.
First, I was :eek:
Then I was :confused:
After that I was :mad:
Then I was :rolleyes:
I did notice that the Navy hasn't put the carrier refit on that list either.
