Obama to Fight Against Automatic Spending Cuts

President Obama “will attempt to draw a new battle line with congressional Republicans over automatic spending cuts that remain baked into the nation’s budget,” CNN reports.

“The forced budget cuts, known as sequestration, which were passed by Congress and signed into law by Obama, took effect in 2013, resulting in sometimes dramatic impacts on agencies across the federal government. Pentagon officials have warned repeatedly the cuts threaten military readiness.”
