What, nobody wants to talk about sequestration anymore!? It’s all shutdown and default?!
Well, we’re going to continue to collect and document the damage from all of the above.
One budget point here: As Michael Linden has been valiently yelling about for days now, locking in sequester spending levels in a clean budget patch bill–a “clean CR”–is no victory for humankind. To the contrary, it’s locking in levels of non-defense discretionary spending that are too low to make the investments in public goods–both human and physical capital–that we need. [Irony note: listen to House R’s going on about how much they love the NIH and WIC as they do their mini-CR dance…awfully hard to take given that these are the same programs they whack in their budget.] Be sure to see Annie Lowrey’s piece on this below.
