Strange Bedfellows Fight Sequestration

Bloomberg: “The defense aerospace industry gave 60 percent of its donations to Republicans during the 2012 elections. The high-tech industry gave 59 percent of its contributions to the Democrats. Now, representatives of both industries are teaming up to push back on a common threat: U.S. budget cuts.”

Both sides agree that “sequestration cuts are jeopardizing the nation’s technological edge in
weapons systems and threatening the research and development that leads
to new industries and new jobs.”
