The head of the Executive Branch--Obama. I am sure he delegates most of it to the agency heads who are Presidential appointees. They are constrained to a certain degree because the cuts must be made across the board to various account buckets.
I am most upset about how the Pentagon has politicized this. I am not in favor of deep military cuts, but given how the Pentagon is playing hardball politics, I say let the cuts happen and then we can address them next fiscal year.
Thanks. I just don’t understand why they couldn’t have been a bit more creative in what was cut. It seems to have been totally politicized to make the cuts as “painful” as they can, and to the most people.
