So what's the big deal about the sequester?

To listen to the hysteria coming from both sides, when the sequester goes into effect next week, airport security will collapse, the US will be overrun by terrorists since the military will have been castrated, and dogs and cats will start sleeping together. Hello? Cut 10-20% of budgets, and things will need to be cut. Isn't reducing government spending what the Tea Party is all about? Guess the NIMBY factor remains alive and well.
