You have to understand how the Right rationalizes things. The bill was written in the House, sponsored by a Republican, and co-sponsored by 14 other Republicans as you said, but the House written and passed bill was sponsored by one Democrat when it was passed unchanged in the Senate so that makes it solely a Democratic bill.The DoD gets the lions share of disposal revenues, so naturally when a dumb law like Sequestration is put into effect the DoD will also suffer the largest cuts.
What the hell are "disposal revenues?" The DOD is 18% of the budget. End of story.
Why would any sane person want to prevent it?
Remember, SEQUESTRATION was the compromise that the GOP demanded.
Obama signed this GOP sponsored bill into law.
Ergo from a nonpartisn POV, both parties OWN this mess.
A Democrat sponsored the bill, and Obama has admitted it was his idea.
FAIL!
You have been misinformed, Bripat
Look it up.
Sponsored by a Republican, co-sponsored by 14 other Republicans.
Signed by Obama.
Both parties own this fiasco.
