"$670 million annually in federal grants, plus $3.3 billion in statewide military and defense revenue, lawmakers, administration officials and experts estimate. The University of California is anticipating 5 percent hits to its $3.3 billion federally funded research program as well as its $1.5 billion in U.S. student aid program, on top of federal cuts enacted last year. School districts around the state would also take sucker punches."
How's that in state tuition and access to financial aid for illegal aliens working out for you California?

Not the Bay area!
The GOP MUST go along with Obama tax increases to stop these cuts to the Bay area. This just is not fair!

I imagine all those taxes currently being paid by their illegal aliens (according to the “immigrant” advocates) will be enough to bail them out.

omg these are not cuts... But, if you add up all the individual cuts into an aggregate, it would total the entire federal budget for the year!

Just when Californians are finally feeling upbeat again about where the state is heading...
That is quite a claim. Did anyone tell the Californians they are finally feeling upbeat about where the state is heading?

Bay Area, California to lose big if federal sequester cuts hit this weekFor those in the Bay Area who are feeling down about it I suggest tying a steak around your neck and taking a brisk swim in the bay.

Did anyone tell the Californians they are finally feeling upbeat about where the state is heading? I think they mean the New Californians (illegal aliens). Natives have been stampeding out of the state. Obama and the libs are crying about the Sequester cuts, always saying kids will lose out, etc. But no mention of squandering billions like giving expensive jet aircraft to Egypt, among numerous giveaways to questionable nations. I'll cry about the sequester cuts if Obama stops throwing away our money.

Sucker punches?
School Districts around the state?
What the hell are all these incompetent school distrincts doing spending my federal tax dollars?
Local school districts get more local taxes than they deserve.
Give me a break!

Wait, wait wait...
Obama’s top advisors came up with the sequester idea, Obama liked it and pushed it, congress passed it and Obama signed it into law.
And it’s no good?
