Just 2 short notes today.

1. The Sequester is nearly upon us. The consequences have been much covered in the press. Long lines at airport security, cut-backs in air traffic control, military cuts, fewer food inspections, and many more. Additionally the cut-backs seem likely to hurt the economy which is only slowly recovering from the recession.

I see little movement toward a solution. In fact, both house of Congress took a week off last week, leaving only a few days to solve this.

2. Heath care reform (aka ObamaCare) is in place. Some find aspects they dislike or that they think will harm the economy. The only call I hear from these groups is “repeal” or “repeal and replace”. Since we have already passed health care reform and it has passed constitutional muster, why not work to fix those part that you disagree with?
