This resulted in the sequestor. The Democrats then attacked, with help from the media, and smeared the right because they wanted to "shut down the government". Remember Obama's make it hurt doctrine?

And most of the liberals on here will tell you this is a revenue problem, not a spending problem.

Obama is going to be pissed when he see's thin on the news.

Easy to do when $787 billion of extra "stimulus" spending is "baked into" every CR since the 2009 FY budget.

Most of this increase came from the Stimulus, $787 billion. The next year a budget was not passed so the previous years budget carried over to the next year, with the $787 billion still there. Then there is a think called Baseline budgeting, it takes the previous budget and adds ~5%-6%, which is much more than inflation. The next year it happened again and again. The stimulus money was not 1 time money it was permanently added to the budget and compounding yearly.
Let that sink in...
