The government may have averted sequestration in December, but it won't avoid it for long, according to Sen. Tom Coburn, R-Okla. "We're gonna have a sequestration. we're gonna have some pain because the politicians on the Hill aren't going to make cogent, smart decisions about alternatives to this until they start feeling some pain," Coburn said on Wednesday's Morning Joe. "It's a stupid way to govern, but that's the way we're doing it right now. I think the blame lies on everyone's shoulders including the president's. Then we're going to start coming around and picking and choosing what's important and eliminating what's not of great value and what we can't afford."
