"This is sort of a serious question. Is intentionally damaging US commerce, in
this case intentionally disrupting US air traffic,

Toomey: FAA Gets More Money After Sequester Than In Obama Budget
Sen. Pat Toomey: "This is why they are doing this. Precisely because the president, frankly, and so many in his administration were so shrill about this, leading up to the sequester. Now they feel like they'd better make it painful or else they look pretty foolish having predicted all the dire consequences. They back themselves into a bad position, where what they should have done is said, let's work with Congress. Let's find the duplication, the waste, the excess. Let's cut the low priority items. They can easily do with the money that's left over."
