The White House budget office is recalculating how to apply automatic spending
cuts for a handful of agencies, freeing up almost $4 billion for
the Pentagon and another $1 billion or so for Homeland Security Department
and NASA.Capitol Hill aides familiar with the White House changes say the
administration has identified almost $5 billion in cuts that can be restored
under its reading of the arcane budget rules governing the across-the-board
cuts, known as sequestration. The calculations would restore $5 billion
of the scheduled $85 billion in automatic sequestration cuts.An administration
official confirmed the calculations Friday but declined to comment further
because the process is ongoing. The official and congressional aides spoke
on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss the
changes publicly.The move comes amid increasing public pressure to find
ways to lessen the impact of sequestration. Federal agencies are warning
that the mandatory cuts could mean cutbacks in services. Last week, Congress
passed and President Obama signed legislation giving the Federal Aviation
Administration the ability to avoid furloughs that were causing flight delays
by tapping money in other accounts.The cuts officially began in March after
Congress and Obama could not reach an agreement on a broader budget
deal. The automatic cuts had been imposed under a hard-fought 2011 debt
and budget pact.The cuts have so far failed to live
"Since our founding, the United States has been a nation that respects
all faiths.We reject all efforts to denigrate the religious beliefs of others.
But there is absolutely no justification to this type of senseless violence.
None."-- President Obama on Sept. 12, 2012 discussing the attack on the
U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, then said by the administration to have
been spurred by an Internet video deemed offensive to Islam.Elections are
clarifying things, though not necessarily for voters.Americans are still
puzzling over the significance and consequences of 2012's electoral embrace
of an unpopular status quo. Is dysfunction the new normal? Is sclerotic
malaise the best we can muster for a federal government?But for the
candidates and campaign teams in the midst of elections, they are marvelously
simplifying affairs. If you don't win, nothing else matters. Other considerations
must take a back seat, even if you are the incumbent president
of the most important nation on the planet.If one believes he or
she is in politics to do good, as almost all politicians do,
ignoble attainment of a victory is easily excused by the thought of
good deeds achieved once installed or retained in office.Today's birthday
boy, Nicolo Machiavelli, wrote that if a politician is successful, "the
means will always be considered honest." Or, as his modern intellectual
heir, Al Davis of the Oakland Raiders, put it: "Just win, baby."But
it is not always so.
