Due to Obama’s failure to lead and craft a solution to the debt crisis, the Department of Defense is slated for massive cuts.

These cuts mean massive layoffs in both the DoD and affected industries.

200,000 or more layoffs.

The law requires that companies which know they’re going to lay people off provide advance notice of this.

But Obama doesn’t want those notices going out before the election.

Incredible…
