Our ninth version monitoring the impact of sequestration on both the micro (lots this week on health care and research; also seniors) and the macro (see IMF stuff).
One other point on this. In discussions of sequestration, I not infrequently run into people who think it’s a one-year thing. If we can just get through 2013, it will all be over. No, it won’t. The sequester is on the books until 2021.
There are a million more important reasons to kill it before then, but do you really want to see Sequester Watch #1864, etc…?!?
