In the recent months, anybody that has a radio or television has heard the term sequester or sequestration. If you look-up sequestration online you will find a definition basically stating that an object (of some sort) will be taken back. In 1985 Congress adjusted the term to become a fiscal definition basically meaning to take money back. You can get even more fancy with the definition; however, overall something was giveth and something will be taketh away!!!
Now, my question to you today is whether you know what this means to you? Really, you don't? Well don't worry you are not in the minority in this case. I think if you were to ask those that govern what the 2013 sequestration actually means and how the population of the United State is going to be affected. Open up the paper (or online copy) and you will find a different editorial on how the sequestration is going to affect rank and file members of this wonderful country. One editorial will say that the sequestration is really going to take a while to affect citizens and even if it does it will be minimal. The next day (or different editorial on the same day) writers will provide commentary that shows how the world is ending before you finish reading the article. On January 10, 2013, the Congressional Research Service published a 25 page document on the Sequestration, exemptions and special rules for the automatic cuts.
In a confusing world of new and consistently changing legislation, additional fiscal issues can make it difficult to keep track of how daily operations of your organization may continue. Now, tonight is going to be a short post, but I suggest that in the midst of changes such as these we need to continue to work with our legislators to put together plans based upon the best knowledge on how to help our citizens in our communities in the best manner possible.
Take Care and Stay Safe.
