I'm thinking the sequestration requirement is so insanely stupid that the fee part is ignored, and departmental spending just gets a flat rate cut. Every department, every program (unless specifically exempted), no intelligence is allowed to be brought to bear. It was supposed to be so stupid that it would FORCE a compromise to be negotiated. To say more would invite a transfer to OMNI-ville.
