I have heard that the sequester will chop about 85 billion dollars from the Federal budget. This is about 8% of this year's deficit, and 3% of the total budget. The biggest cut by agency will be about 13%.

Many of us have had to cut our budget from one time to another. Is it really going to be that bad? Even a 13% cut is not exactly a meat-axe, maybe a chief's knife?
My instincts tell me it won't be that bad.
Note: I carry no brief for either party. I can and do split my vote very frequently.
