BACKGROUND ON THE DEFENSE BUDGET CUTS: 2013-2021 - Our military is carrying an unfair burden of deficit cuts. To date our Defense budget has been hit with 50% of deficit reduction - yet it accounts for less than 20% of total federal spending.
- Earlier Budget Cuts: the first 9% Defense Budget Reduction: Defense budgets for 2013-2021 were cut $487 billion -- an average 9% cut over 9 years. In 2012, President Obama limited U.S. military capability to fighting one "regional conflict" and one "holding action."
- Sequestration Budget Cuts: the second 9% Defense Budget Reduction: "Sequestration," also required by law in 2011, mandates $500 billion more in 2013-2021 defense cuts -- an average total 18% cut. In 2011 President Obama said "I will veto any effort to get rid of those automatic spending cuts."
- Alternative solutions have been proposed to maintain a strong defense, reduce our deficit and avoid tax increases: Elected officials have proposed that the President and Congress reduce mandatory entitlement spending and make cuts in the non-security programs in the Federal budget.
- Be Prepared: These reports show how estimates of 2013 defense budget reductions of 9% and 18% could affect Iowa with cuts in defense jobs and businesses. Ask your elected officials for ongoing updates on how these defense cuts will affect your community.
