==Democrat plans for dealing with sequester==

The Democrats are said to be planning calls for more extended unemployment benefits and [[infrastructure]] projects, which is of course, what the sequester is paying for from  Obama's first term. Infrastructure projects do nothing to solve the underlying problem of unemployment, leaving workers unemployed, again, once the project is completed or government funding runs out.<ref>There is a limit to how many highways, bridges, and public buildings can be built. And it is States and localities that must pay the cost of permanently maintaining them. Many states and localities are already struggling to maintain basic services like police, fire, and teachers. As [[FDR]] discovered, "infrastructure" is a campaign slogan that does more to prolong the crisis and extend the suffering.</ref> Likewise, extended unemployment benefits do nothing to address the problem of job creation.
