Obama Talks About Moving Forward Despite Sequester
Friday, March 1, 2013
Starting
today, our government will need to grapple with a set of arbitrary
budget cuts that will hurt the economy, make life harder for
middle-class families, and threaten our national security. That's what
Washington means when it talks about the sequester.
Not
everyone will feel the consequences of these cuts immediately, but if
sequestration is allowed to continue, it will make life more difficult
for Americans all across the country. That's a fact that no one
disputes.
And
the reason we are here is because some members of Congress have made a
choice to prioritize these cuts over closing tax loopholes for the
wealthy. But there is still time for them to make a different choice and
undo this manufactured crisis.
Today,
President Obama discussed this situation and answered questions from
the press. "This is not a win for anybody," he said. "This is a loss for
the American people."
Help
us make sure your friends and neighbors know what's at stake. Share
this video of President Obama on Facebook or Twitter -- or even just
forward this email to your friends.
PS
-- We put a page together that outlines President Obama's solution for
resolving the sequester, explains what these cuts will mean for
communities across the country, and asks you to share your story. Check
