Sequestration Will Destroy the Government according to CNBC

This is such a scare-tactics slanted article that it isn't even funny.

Most government agencies have funds available after March 1, but the clock would be ticking on how long they can keep operating. One of the biggest problems from the cuts is the number of government workers placed on furloughs or laid off.

So if Congress and President Barack Obama can't reach a deal to avoid sequestration, where would most people feel the immediate pain? How would it affect every day life? 

Then it rattles off a bunch of scary things that will befall our country because we can't come up with $86 billion in spending cuts. For instance wait times are airports will rise by 1 hour because there won't be enough TSA agents to feel up enough travelers. Also air traffic controllers will be furloughed for whatever reason.

Then we have the government closing Social Security offices and the IRS can do less enforcement. In other words less audits. That must be scaring Americans. Also public parks might close because rangers will be furloughed. Maybe a trip to Yellowstone will have to change to a trip to Disneyland instead.

Having the military cut by $50 billion a year is exactly what the Dems have been clamoring for. The part that I don't understand is that these furlough shouldn't be permanent. The FBI for instance will have to be furloughed for 3 weeks according to this article. Its not like they will be shutting down the FBI just making agents take a 3 week vacation for no pay. Hawaii went through furloughs and it didn't seem too crushing for us.
