Please, please please can we stop using the word sequester and replace it with CUT
It is ridiculous that 'we the people' are being bombardeed with this 'Wall Street speak' SEQUESTER. What the hell does that mean to the average person? We even hear Democratic politicians using the word. They should be ashamed of themselves!
Why don't they use the word CUT!
The Republicans are cutting you!
Oh and what about the word austerity - what average person has a dictionary to look up the word austerity?
NO CUTS!
K & R if you are against Republican cuts

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
