    A comment on Conversation: where is the public outrage to the sequester

    Mar 6 2013: Many don't fully understand wha will occur over time! The problem is that Congress has lost their will to compromise. No one in Congress wants to make the tough decisions for fear of losing their jobs i.e. not getting re-elected. Leading is not a popularity contest! Leader's need to make decisions based upon facts, as much as can be provided, intuition and sense for what is right for the country. Sequestration will affect many jobs but not the politicans! They should all not get paid until they come to some tough decisions are made. In fact we should lock them in a room and tell them they can't come out, or get paid, until decsions are reached! This would make something happen rather than usual blame game!
