Reason's Sequestration Subscription Deal: We're Taking 2.3% of Our Already Low Price of $14.97!

In order to demonstrate the devasatating affects of automatic federal spending cuts, Reason is happy to offer a special Sequestration subscription rate. Depending on how you figure the cuts, the sequester will trim as much as $85 billion out of a $3.6 trillion budget for fiscal year 2013.

You already know how awful the sequester will be. Among its terrifying effects on a country still struggling after spending trillions of borrowed money on bailouts, stimulus, and dysfunctional fighter jets:

• The National Zoo may have to postpone "the planned acquisition of cheetahs for [a] research facility in Front Royal, [Virginia]."
• Janitors at the Capitol building in Washington, D.C. will "have less pay. The janitors, the security guards. They just got a pay cut," according to President Obama.
• "It just means a lot more children will not get the kinds of services and opportunities they need, and as many as 40,000 teachers could lose their jobs," according to Education Secretary Arne Duncan, "There are literally teachers now who are getting pink slips, who are getting notices that they can't come back this fall."

In solidarity, we are cruelly slashing 2.3 percent off our normal price of $14.97, which means we will receive 34 cents less per annual subscription. So you can now get a year's worth of Reason - 11 issues - for just $14.63! This rate is good for new subscribers, existing subscribers, and folks who want it via Kindle, Nook, Sony, and other e-readers.

This offer won't last forever - just like the sequester cuts, which the government is likely to reverse as soon as the Dems and Reps can come together in a face-saving, free-spending manner.

So don't delay - and make sure to use this special link to lock in your unconscionably cruel savings of 2.3 percent!
