bring about austerity and avoid using the dirty word.

Both sides can point at each other, but none of them can be directly fingered for the sequester being a sideways form of austerity that would, (as you notice) gradually unfold.

Imagine if the "sequester", (has a nice, smooth sound, ey) hit all in one day. Nope. We will see it unfold over a couple of years from what I know. If it was one fell-swoop the response could have been rather intense and angry to the point of boiling. Now, we just simmer roughly.

Seems rather strategic what with the negative perspective we get from the impact that AUSTERITY had in Greece.
