We're Sick Of It

Americans may be sick of sequestration and it hasn't even happened yet. A new Pew Research Center poll shows 3 in 4 Americans aren't paying close attention to the federal budget crisis. That's fewer than the number who closely followed the fiscal cliff crisis in December. Pollsters say Americans may have crisis fatigue. Congress remains deadlocked over a deal to avoid the sequester, just two days before it is supposed to begin. Rep. Adam Smith (D-Wash.) will propose a solution today. But he is a Democrat in the GOP-controlled House and he has no co-sponsors.
