      <![CDATA[The entire $1.2 trillion in Sequestration 'cuts' should be understood that they are not really cuts at all...<br />
 <br />
They are really a lowering of the projected INCREASE in federal spending going forward.<br />
 <br />
In simple terms, if an agency's budget is $100, and they are expecting an increase of $10.00 next year, but they only get $8.00, Dumbocrat politicians characterize that as a $2.00 cut in spending. (Queue the Chicken Little quote).

      <![CDATA[I'm all for the immigrants, as long as they have committed no serious crimes, never having been arrested in the first place. There's a danger of this backfiring if any of them do commit a serious crime after this release. Of course the odds of that happening are the same as any other subset of the population, but it could turn into a Willie Horton standoff of who's responsible. I certainly hope they are releasing victims of the Drug War as well, but maybe that only makes financial sense and doesn't make as strong a political point.
