Wow! Compare the military cuts in Alabama with the same for New York. Those southern red states that voted in these clowns are going to be feeling some serious economic pain come sequester! Looks like they'll be discovering just who was living off the gummint tit.

Military Readiness: In Alabama, approximately 27,000 civilian Department of Defense
employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by around $176.9 million in total.

Military Readiness: In New York, approximately 12,000 civilian Department of Defense
employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by around $60.9 million in total.

But for the overall effect on the economy right now, I'd be totally for this. Our military needs to be whacked a lot more, but now isn't the time to do it.
