Sequester Impact On States Detailed In New White House Reports

[oladub]

To be added to the last paragraph of my post #22 of things that are more important than sequestered items being eliminated:

Yesterday there were a couple of reports that the federal government just purchased 2,750 really awesome 18 ton armored vehicles by Navistar for domestic use. I'm not sure what for; maybe to bring this Country together.

Today, a new five million dollar spending program was announced to retrain coal workers put out of work by federal energy policies.

As a fed, I could add some insight to the spending cuts as well as other defense-related cuts, but I better sit this one out. Let me just say that there needs to be a massive overhaul in federal acquisition policy. The last major shakeup was led by Al Gore during the mid 90s.
