Accountability time
All pundit and politician comments on the sequester deal (from 1+ year ago) should be reviewed to see who thought it was a good idea, or anything that could end particularly well.
. . . .
On a tangentially related accountability note—there is one guy on CNBC who is a non-stooge who they keep around to argue with the RW economics types who make up 99% of their programing. He was just arguing with a bond-bubble loom and had the poor manners to point out that everything the guy has predicted didn't happen. The RW guy responded with the bleat that the deficit bomb is sure to explode interest rates someday. The CNBC guy replied, "'Something bad will happen someday' is not an investment model."
