It doesnt apply to the military base in my district. If we lost that, we would lose jobs. Is there anyway around this . I dont know how, other than a fundamental change. I remember seeing many years ago, a map of where the subcontracts were, i think it was the b2 bomber. There was a pin the companies are smar...

We have a pretty good way of looking at the relationship between supply and demand. On the supply side you can capture this in a diagram. What it would look like under this budget and what it would look like under sequester. It is not a pretty story when you compare that to the requirements around the globe.
