McConnell's Sequester Diminishes Derby

That would be the same made-up, completely unnecessary sequester created to address a fake crisis about a deficit non-problem, the same sequester that could and should be cancelled with a simple congressional vote, but won't be because Mitch McConnell wants these unnecessary budget cuts to become permanent.

From the AP:

The Kentucky Derby Festival says military aircraft won't be a part of this year's air show at Thunder Over Louisville due to federal budget cuts.

Organizers of the event told The Courier-Journal (cjky.it/10iMAhd) on Friday that fighter jets, bombers and attack helicopters that have thrilled crowds in the past have been grounded from air shows due to spending cuts.

The show, however, will go on.
