"The Pentagon has yet to tell defense contractors about possible plans to eliminate programs or contracts."
There will be a lot of jobs lost and contractors going out of business.
Perhaps this is part of Obama's promise to the Russians, about being more 'flexible.'
The only cuts we will ever see under Obama is from sequestration. And even then he will spend anyway,with EO’s, regulation and such.... just not quite as much.
Just what the left has wanted for many years. Not to worry, the ruling elite will always be safe should we be attacked.
We’re either broke or we’re not. And we’re broke.
I guess those layoff notices (as per the Worker Adjustment Retraining Notification Act) can go out now that the election is over.
Are these “real world” cuts or Washington style reduction in increases?
Bye-bye P-8, LCS, AMW.
This BS show is only to cover up and place blame on the engineered crash that’s already long under way.
They always pull a similar charade around Christmas about something - the difference this time is it is about our very survival.
THEY OWN IT.
Layoffs have happened ~
Maybe now they can close some of those bases they’ve been wanting to close, but Congress wouldn’t let them.
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
The department of education can’t account for over half of it’s funding every year.
Health and human services has over a trillion dollar budget, but no let’s not trim some of that fat.
There are dozens of long obsolete federal commissions who’s commissioners each earn a six or more figure salary for doing absolutly nothing productive.
All of these useless oxygen theiving congress critters and their collective staffs should go without pay before the military sees one dollar of cuts IMO.
“Pentagon now preparing for massive cuts as fiscal negotiations appear stalled”
Considering the direction in which the military has been going during the last four years — women on submarines, gay marriage at West Point, and probably much more — I’d just as soon see the military “cut back” for now.
Put things on ice for the next four years. This assumes that at some point in the near-distant future, the Republicans will regain control over the government, and then restore the military to a “pre-Obama status quo”. That’s what I’d -like- to believe, but I’m not optimistic that that’s actually going to happen...
This debacle could have been avoided if Boehner et al hadn’t caved back in 2011.
Obama’s Communist Method.
