White House misses deadline to deliver sequestration report, says plan coming next week

The White House plans to deliver a report to Congress late next week detailing how automatic, across-the-board cuts, set to take effect in January, will affect specific programs. The report is required under the Sequestration Transparency Act, which Congress overwhelmingly passed this summer and which the President signed on Aug. 7. The law directed the President to issue the detailed report within 30 days of signing it - a deadline that came this week and went unmet.

    Specifics are not a part of the Obama Administration mantra. Rhetoric and "pass it, then read it", that is their guidance. Only those who will NOT vote for his eminence, know this and understand. The rest are to be pittied. They are but poor lemmings.

    Hey, here's an idea- let's put in draconian consequences to keep politicians from acting like children. Oopsie, we forgot. Politicians ALWAYS act like children now. Now we are surprised that they acted like children, and the consequences are going into place? Get serious.

    Republican politicians are also vague and do the pass it, then read it dance. Most politicians, regardless of party, expect their interns to read stuff and break it into bullet points for them in a summary, and pass or fight bills based on those summaries, instead of actually reading every bill themselves. What is your point?
