President Obama is now meeting with Congressional leaders from both parties at the White House in a last-ditch effort to stave off the sequester - $85 billion in automatic across-the-board domestic and defense cuts set to take effect today.
The billions of dollars in budget cuts are most likely going to phase in over the next few months. Furloughs of government workers, esp. civilian Pentagon employees, will begin several weeks from now. The predicted impact could come in flight delays, limited hours at national parks, and longer wait times at border crossings.
What are the long term effects of the sequestration?
How are our dear HBG doing?
Are the effects felt by HGs?
How about HXG (还想归)?
