Everybody seems to hate the across-the-board government spending cuts due to kick in March 1.
President Barack Obama called the cuts—known in Washington as the "sequester"—a "meat-cleaver approach" to trimming the government's annual deficits, warning that they will visit a host of plagues upon America: Military readiness will suffer. School quality will decline. Hundreds of thousands of people will lose their jobs.
Obama didn't mention one other thing the sequester might accomplish: restoring faith in America's creditworthiness.
