Does anyone know precisely and correctly how many dollars would be cut under the so called “sequesteration” program?
My understanding is that the amount is approximately $45 billion for each year the next ten years.
to answer my own question, and after a little research, DOD is being asked to cut 492 billion dollars of spending between 2013 and 2021 or 9 years or approximately 55 billion in cuts per year. Exempt from this is the cost of any wars.
I think the question becomes for Freepers “how much of a cut from defense is enough, if any?”
