Thanks to the dreaded sequester cuts, the nation’s habitat will take a sizable hit as the development of clean energy is set back and 8,400 meat inspectors are furloughed.

By Noam Chomsky, TomDispatch —
After the first few years of the Great Depression there was a sense that “we’re gonna get out of it.” It’s quite different now.

The No. 2 GOP leader in the House says additional funds for FEMA will have to be matched by budget cuts, and we know from past experience what that means: less funding for programs that assist the poor and elderly without a hope of raising taxes.
