To the Editor:

A recent letter writer said that President Barack Obama authorized the sequester. Yes, but with a heap of Republicans voting for it. He naively thought the GOP would work together with him to fix it. What a joke.

Newt Gingrich and Bill Clinton worked on a budget together and left a surplus that President George W. Bush spent down in his first year in office. He then went on to initiate an immoral war in Iraq that cost some $3 trillion and the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers and civilians.
