Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee should put on a clown outfit and get it over with...

– Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (D-Texas) on Thursday compared the series of
automatic federal budget cuts that took effect on March 1 to the
Japanese tsunami of 2011 that killed more than 15,000 people and left
millions more without power and water, while sparking a nuclear reactor
meltdown.
“And for those whose memories fade, I want you to be reminded of the
tsunami,” Jackson Lee said. “For it does not give notice and it is
tragic and reckless for those who say ‘You know what, the sequester has
started and I feel pretty good’ because you have not been hit by the
tsunami.
She also “warned” that this “tsunami” of effects from the cuts, known
as The Sequester, could come at any time – even at a time when Congress
is not in session.
“It may come at a moment — when we are away on work recess, or when
the speaker has sent us home and we’re not here working. And all of a
sudden a great percentage of America will be walking around without
benefits, without childcare, without teachers in our schools, and we’ll
ask the question ‘What happened?’” she said.
“It was the tsunami of the sequester,” she added.
