When it looked like the Republicans were completely serious in their threats to refuse to lift the debt ceiling and melt down the world economy, Democrats came up with the sequester proposal. Republicans didn't hesitate to embrace it, most in the House voting for it while most Democrats voted against it and John Boehner who boasted, "I got 98% of what I wanted".
A week ago, Boehner's office sent around a Charles Krauthammer column encouraging Republicans to embrace the budget sequester saying with $1.2 trillion cuts going into effect, this is the one time they can get the cuts they want.
For months, Republicans have been dangling tax reforms with Boehner's December budget pledging to increase tax revenue by $800 billion. Now they reject that even in exchange for cuts to SS/Medicare to replace the sequester.
They can't just say they are fine with the sequester, full speed ahead and then blame the sequester on Obama.
