Spending Cuts to Military results in 900 State Jobs Lost.

Republican voters will never realize their elected representatives just wiped out about 900 jobs. The sequester did have an effect, whether you agree with pouring more and more money into the black hole of the military industrial complex or not, and I don’t. Eisenhower warned us, and now under tight budgets, we're stuck.

So here we are, in the process of winding down our foreign wars, and hurting a lot of families depended on those great full time jobs.
jsonline: Faced with deep cuts in U.S. military spending, and the end of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, Oshkosh Corp. is laying off 900 employees in its defense division based in the Fox Valley - with little hope of the jobs returning anytime soon, if at all. Approximately 700 hourly workers at the state's largest manufacturer will lose their jobs in mid-June, followed by approximately 200 salaried employees through July.
But these losses will either get little or no conservative talk coverage, or instead, will get repackaged as Obama’s fault. And so, the bubble will be unbroken.
