Thousands on Medicare lose cancer treatments

Once again: sequester cuts are not fungible. Obama couldn't take funds from programs you don't like and transfer them to programs you do like even if he was in agreement with you about the priorities. Added to that is the fact that the sequester does not uniformly affect all parts of the government with a 2.4% cut. 2.4% represents the sequester cuts from the total budget, but large chunks of the budget are exempt from any cuts so the remaining parts have much deeper cuts - often cuts in the 8% to 10% range.

It would be nice if you would keep this in mind when you are thinking of putting up a post about sequester cuts and want to suggest that Obama has his sequester cut priorities wrong.
