HOW WE SEE IT Sequester Not So Poison After All
Posted: March 10, 2013 at 12:55 a.m.

Well, I could have, but I didn't. However, Coralie, I have been totally responsible for other trash.

Axel Merk, president and chief investment oficer at Merk Investments, wasn't worried about the sequester.
That's because it wasn't going to affect him or other high fliers in the financial world, anyway.
...
"Republicans are also responsible for this financial showdown and the failure to reach any meaningful deals." Oh you don't say? ALSO responsible..

Yes, the sequester will likely only affect the 750,000 people that will lose jobs in the next 8 months. If job growth continues just level for the next 8 months, we would have another 2,000,000 jobs created. But if we get to the end of this period, and we have only 1,250,000 jobs created, are we going to have to listen to Obama's opponents say "See, the sequester didn't hurt a thing, but look, Obama hasn't done anything for job growth!"?
