There is bipartisan agreement that the Presidents sequester is not a smart way to cut spending and Republicans have repeatedly offered and passed solutions to achieve the same amount of deficit reduction in a more responsible way without tax hikes.
Any effort to avert the sequester should begin with the billions of dollars in frivolous projects government waste and duplicative spending that have propagated our runaway debt and deficits."
