Well, we knew that was going to happen

The Pentagon reports that military readiness is being adversely affected due to sequestration budget cuts.

You remember the sequestration, right?  The one that the White House came up with when recalcitrant Republicans forced the Congress and the country toward a "fiscal cliff" of potential debt reneging, which was a consequence that could not be considered.  So in a last minute desperation attempt, the White House got a deal because they didn't figure the GOP would allow drastic cuts to the military, potentially affecting our ability to wage necessary wars.

Didn't exactly work out the way it was supposed to, did it?

Pentagon: Funding cuts damaging readiness

Deputy Defense Secretary Robert Work warned returning members of Congress on Wednesday that the military would be less able to fight future wars unless they reverse half a trillion dollars in defense cuts forced on the Pentagon last year.

“It would be unconscionable to send American troops into a fight where they are not adequately trained and equipped,” Work said at the Center for Strategic and International Studies.

"Lawmakers partially relieved the cuts in 2014 and 2015, but it is unclear whether they will return in full, as currently scheduled, in 2016.

Lawmakers had agreed in 2011 to cuts of $500 billion to be equally and automatically applied to each defense program budget over 10 years if they were not able to agree on tax and spending reform. The cuts were designed to be so damaging they would force lawmakers to come to an agreement, but they kicked in when Congress failed."

Think this will happen with a Republican-controlled Congress?
