Republicans and Democrats Crank Up Sequester Drama

Politicians prepare messaging in final week before sequestration

Former Wyoming Sen. Alan Simpson believes lawmakers are more interested in politics than solutions.

But that doesn't mean the showdown will be void of political fireworks, warns Simpson.

"When Congress sees the chaos that results after March 1 they will realize that no one won that one," Simpson says. "But the creativity will be unbounded [in the next fight] on how to make the bomb blow up in the other one's face."
