Anyone have any feel for what services will be affected if the sequester goes through?

I'm specifically wondering about immigration, customs and domestic air travel. My husband is headed home from a long trip overseas and I'm wondering if he should expect problems.

1. It should effect everything

2. Here's an article about what it will do to the FAA.

3. I'm wondering about Soc. Sec. Checks and VA disability

with are my only two sources of income.

4. I've read that Social Security checks are going to be OK.

VA programs seem to be OK, some military programs will get hit:

6. I'm also on VA combat disability, and it's good to know we'll be okay

But the sequester hurts a lot of other people who don't deserve it.

7. Indeed

It's madness to try to cut our way to prosperity, unless we're
cutting tax give-aways to the Corporate Overlords.
