"cutting the defense budget..."

First Monday in November I got a taste.


More and more Americans who are employed in the defense industry are going to experience the same thing.

The local Air Force Base here laid off all the civilian subcontractors. They told them they could have their jobs back at half the price and that they were going to hire kids out of college and train them to do the same jobs.

Their budget was drastically cut.
