his is in addition to FY13’s existing 10% cut.

This is in addition to 10% cuts in other non-DoD areas this week.

Feinsteen said the cuts don’t account for priority, that high priority programs are also cut by 10% (actually 13.3% since it 3+ mo into the FY).

That’s a DoD budget that has been cut 23% since last year.

Are these REAL cuts in spending or just cuts in the rate of spending growth as the District of Corruption loves to refer to them as cuts?

Re: DoD cuts - it’s all relative. Some is probably “reductions in growth”. At least 13-14% is direct budget cut, across the board, all programs and depatments and divisions. 800,000 pink slips this week. 800,000 unemployment claims.

MTP: Obama drones on and on about his first priorities (gun control), seemingly content that the Department of Defense he leads is about to be raked and the unemployment rate is about to skyrocket.
