It is a lying Democrat talking point that "They used it to give the very wealthy a big tax cut", when in truth they gave EVERYONE a tax cut. And that historically, tax cuts result in more jobs and business, that leads to more taxable income, that actually increases state revenue.
And it was Democrats who made the sequester a required condition of raising the debt cieling.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_budget_sequestration_in_2013 In February with their reduced majority, key Republicans admitted that they would not be able to pass the bill again, even in the House.[16] Nevertheless, many Republicans believed that the bill would serve as a template for what they wanted: no tax increases, no defense cuts, and considerable domestic spending reductions.[
I repeat: Republicans were tricked into signing it.
Just like Obamacare.
Just like amnesty for illegals in 1986.
Deception is the standard operating tactic for Democrats.
