The 2013 sequester of federal funds starting Friday, March 1, 2013. Over the weekend there were reports of very long lines returning to the U.S. (Four hours on Sunday.)
Most of the cuts haven't even started yet, but the line is long. It's also hard to see why an approximately 10% cut should more than double the wait in line.
IMO Janet Napolitano, head of Homeland Security, is doing all she can to make Obama's pain prophecy come true.
