The next opportunity for a headline...

I believe the next big headline in the US will make use of the sequester and its effect on the military. We will suffer some sort of attack on grounded planes/moored ships/idle personnel, and it will be blamed on the "fact," we had no money to protect them/utilize/deploy them...

Then the Demo/Repubs/Neroes will each blame the other while Rome burns...

History repeats itself...

bet the next big headline will have to do with a celebrity couple. History does repeat itself and we haven't had a brangelina for a while.

Yeah, I guess I should have clarified my post title a little more, eh? Touche!

Haha sorry to derail I really gave an honest thought to what the next headline would be. This is 'merica afterall.

Agree with you though. This whole thing does appear to be scripted. I am anxious to know what the next scene will be.

Except none of the spending cuts effect the Defense budget. They are taking out from the non-defense parts of the military budget.

Plus, we could cut half the military, and still be safe.

Not accurate. You did understand our carriers and other aspects of active military operations have been suspended.
