This week on BGOV’s Capital Impact show hosted by Allen Scott:

Congress can’t avoid the meat cleaver of sequestration, and those cuts — about $234 million this year — may have a disproportionate impact on the legislative branch. But it’s not clear that these reductions will be enough to induce legislators to undo, downsize or postpone the government-wide cuts coming March 1. Bloomberg Government’s Senior Defense Analyst Dr. Kevin Brancato breaks down the sequester with Allen Scott.
