Shouldn't they

be talking to the Republicans? The Democrats don't want these cuts. If this Sequestrian goes through, it want only hurt people the Republicans are trying to hurt, but it will hurt their constituents in Red States the most. States with larger populations have a larger tax base than most red states and better pay wages. Those Red States have a lotta military bases. They get a lotta money from the Military Industrial Complex. They employ a lotta civilians too. Those constituents don't feel the pain now but many of them will be joining the unemployment ranks soon if the Republicans don't come to terms. And guess what the Governor of North Carolina just did with unemployment compensation starting July. I see a huge trainwreck coming in North Carolina for Republicans.
