3/3 Post

Oh god. I haven't written a blog post in forever! Okay, so I am going to write about the sequester. The sequester really really sucks. It means that government spending/budgets are cut almost across the board. Oddly enough, my mom managed not to get sequestered so that's kind of cool. They would have had to tell her by now too because you legally are required to give a month's notice. Anyways, the sequester means that a lot of people are going be working 4 day work weeks instead of 5 day ones. This may not seem like such a huge thing at first, but it means a 20% decrease in income, for example, someone making 100,000 per year who gets sequestered, may only make 80,000 this year. This means that a ton of people are going to have way less money in their pockets to spend, and will really hurt economic growth. People better fix this stuff fast!
