The automatic
spending cuts have been a concern for
They'll result in
more than a trillion dollars in mandatory... across the board government
spending cuts. Congress and The President
agreed to it all... as a way to escape the debt ceiling crisis of 2011.
"The Senate hasn't
passed a bill to replace The Sequester. The President gave a speech showing
that he'd like to replace it, but he hasn't put any details out there," said
Paul Ryan (R-Wisconsin). "So that is why I conclude I believe it's
going to take place. But take a step
back. We are here because The President
back in the last session of Congress refused to cut spending in any place and
therefore we wound up with The Sequester."
The Sequester kicks
in March first.
