How to use "Sequestration" in context?
When it comes to taxes, most people think about paying what they owe. However, when it comes to the sequester, many people are not familiar with it - and that could have consequences.
This sequester is a series of across-the-board budget cuts that were agreed to earlier this year. This was meant to reduce the deficit, but instead, it has had consequences on many fronts. One of these consequences is that it's causing delays in important government projects.
One example is the construction of the Highway Trust Fund.
