We're talking to you, John With draconian sequester cuts just around the corner and with the Republican leadership refusing to do a damn thing to stop them, it's time to start looking at the impact these cuts will have on individual states, starting with John "I got 98 percent of what I wanted" Boehner's own Buckeye State. Here are just a few of the cuts that Ohioans will see in the coming months:
- Ohio will lose approximately $25.1 million in funding for primary and secondary education, putting around 350 teacher and aide jobs at risk.
- In addition, Ohio will lose approximately $22 million in funds for about 270 teachers, aides, and staff who help children with disabilities.
- In Ohio, approximately 26,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed, reducing gross pay by around $161.4 million in total.
Army: Base operation funding would be cut by about $1.9 million in Ohio.
Air Force: Funding for Air Force operations in Ohio would be cut by about $3 million.
- Ohio could lose up to $245,000 in funds that provide services to victims of domestic violence, resulting in up to 900 fewer victims being served.
Remember, that's just a small sample of the cuts that will be hurting real people in Ohio because House Republicans'led by John Boehner'are more interested in their never-ending quest to gut social programs while protecting tax loopholes and deductions for the wealthy.
