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
