“The United States did not collapse last Friday when the package of spending reductions known as ‘sequestration’ went into effect. The financial markets hardly blinked, as they have come to be more skeptical about these periodic government-hyped ‘crises.’ What had been portrayed as a drastic reduction in government spending was merely a decrease in the projected rate of increase in government spending over the next decade. Under sequestration, government spending increases by $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years rather than $2.5 trillion without it. So we are speeding toward collapse at only 100 miles per hour instead of 110 miles per hour.”
