It may be a catch but it's not Catch-22

“The good news is, the world doesn’t end March 2.”…said Emily Holubowich, a Washington health-care lobbyist who leads a coalition of 3,000 nonprofit groups fighting the cuts. 
Okay then! We're going back to bed.

But it just won't stop…
[Holubowich continues] “The worst-case scenario for us is the sequester hits and nothing bad happens…”
“This is the Catch-22,” said Richard Kogan, a former Obama budget official now at the left-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities.
 Go read the book. Catch-22 is a specific catch, not just any old catch – and that word, sequester, by the way, might have been a perfectly good word once upon a time but is now ruined for the ages.

We'd sleep a lot better if these people would all shut up.
