Across the board cuts eliminate recession

Disaster aid becomes hostage to funding fight 

 A massive disaster aid package is getting caught up in a broader political fight on Capitol Hill over spending, immigration and other contentious issues. The stalled relief money may wind up in the next round of government funding, as the issue is quickly being overtaken by a race to prevent a shutdown and automatic across-the-board spending cuts.

At this point it is clear to everyone that Congress will end up driving the deficit and inverting the yield curve.  The best solution for everyone is the sequester, it keeps the curve from inverting.
