So the results of the sequestration are finally in. I thought things had been rather quiet on that front since various members of the left wing had forecast terrible events if we dared to cut any government jobs or programs. We heard estimates from 1.2 million jobs (Harry Reid) to 170 million (Maxine Waters!) I don't think we have 170 million actually working here anyway. Well, the Government Accounting Office (GAO) has just published its report on the number of government positions lost and it managed to find one. Yes, only one job was lost. Amazing after all the doom and gloom of total collapse that just one poor fellow in the Dept. of Justice was let go. Can we ever trust politicians with numbers?
