Gut the Defense Department and watch the unemployment rate hit 10%, not based on real cuts but based on stupidity in the inabilities of both political parties. It is sad that our politicians would rather see people lose their jobs as use the cuts as a means to hold hostage and promote agenda than comprimise and seek a more fiscal budget. Some reports have said that the loss of jobs could exceed over 2 million. 2 million more Americans left unemployed would be another serious set-back in this so-called economic recovery.
