Don't miss the story in The Hill in which Washington Mayor Vincent Gray suggests that cuts in the defense budget from the sequester may have contributed to the latest mass murder that shook the nation Monday.
It is too early to conclude, and I am not suggesting here, that Defense Department security spending was cut in a way that helped the killer gain access to the Navy Yard. Though I am charging this: The sequester has done significant harm to the American economy and should be repealed.
The sequester imposed cuts in the defense budget that are doing real damage to our security. Many Republicans agree with this. There may be an opening for some bipartisan deal to end or cut back the sequester, by restoring funding to key defense programs, social programs and job-creating programs.?There should be, and will be, a careful analysis of whether DOD sequester cuts contributed to mass murder Monday. I offer no opinion today, except that the matter should be carefully examined. It is terribly wrong to impose draconian sequester cuts against defense, jobs and helping the poor.?
America needs a bipartisan program to repeal the sequester. Now.?
