Backgrounder
Despite Administration claims to the contrary, President Barack Obama’s budget proposal for fiscal 2013 would reduce national defense to the lowest of the major budget priorities of the federal government. The combination of the budget request and the Budget Control Act of 2011 would reduce the military’s personnel levels and force structure to the point that they could no longer protect United States vital interests and keep United States security commitments around the world. Under the Constitution, Congress has the obligation to pass a budget that maintains United States military capabilities.
