Stretching for a headline
This had me all excited:
All for naught, unfortunately. You see, all the predictions of catastrophe were lies, and so now government looks bad for telling them.
Uh-huh.
I'd say it's a hallmark of government success. Damage to the credibility of the press and the people, sure, but government? Put it in the annual report and study it in leadership class.

Looking back, would you be happier if the government actually had planned catastrophic cuts that would destroy the country? The threat of such combined with the fact that the actual cuts were unpleasant and could not have been voted in open session seems to have been not such a bad idea although it does damage the ability to cry "wolf" in the future
I would never support catastrophic cuts. But I would support across the board cuts considerably bigger than the sequester offered up.
"the government actually had planned catastrophic cuts that would destroy the country"
Yes, indeed, this has me channeling Jack Benny: "I'm thinking, I'm thinking!"
Anonymous is far too credulous. I mean, who would believe government planned anything?
