You knew this was coming.

At his weekly Capitol briefing Tuesday, House Minority Whip Steny Hoyer said the explosions in Boston demonstrates “why having the ability to dress security concerns is important,” and thus provides more evidence that sequestration should be turned off.

Asked by a reporter whether Monday’s attack makes the argument for addressing sequestration, Hoyer explained, “I think there are multiple reasons for ensuring that we invest in our security — both domestic and international security. That we invest in the education of our children. That we invest in growing jobs in America. And don’t pursue an irrational, across-the-board policy of cutting the highest priorities and the lowest priorities essentially the same percentage…. I think this is another proof of that — if proof is needed, which I don’t think frankly it is.”

I'm tired. I'm weary. I say let's just give the Statists everything they want. In fact, let's give them even MORE than they're asking for.

Then the birds will sing once again. And the sun will come out. And the flowers will bloom. Swords will be beaten into plowshares. And we'll all sing Kum-ba-yah and live happily ever after.
