Fox News’ Wendell Goler on Lack of White House Planning for Sequestration
Special Report With Bret Baier 07/11/2012
“A day after the Pentagon, the White House conceded as well that it’s not yet prepared for the spending cuts it will need to make if Congress doesn’t reach a deficit reduction agreement by the end of the year,” Goler said.
…“Critics say the lack of preparation is unacceptable.”
“The president is the commander-in-chief of this country. And the other day, his spokesman said that basically he was leaving this to Congress. I think this is an abdication of leadership,” Senator Kelly Ayotte said in the segment.
…“In addition, the defense contractor cuts could cost hundreds of thousands of jobs and push the country back into recession, which could do the same for a global economy that in some places like Europe is struggling more than this country,” Goler said.
