This is called the "Washington Monument" strategy. People will notice the effects of sequestration when they see restrictions that affect famous national landmarks.
People call this a "strategy" but it only makes sense. If the National Parks Service has to make some cuts, those cuts are probably going to affect the national parks.
South Dakota's Mount Rushmore won't be hiring this summer. Meanwhile back in Washington, their senator, John Thune, is leading the charge to salvage White House tours from sequestration.
