itself $85 billion in across-the-board spending cuts. So as part of its strategy to pressure Republicans into accepting new revenues as part of a deal to prevent the sequester from taking effect, the White House released new reports on Sunday that outline the ugly effects those cuts would have in individual states.
Each state's report is linked below. But Jason Furman, principal deputy director of the White House's National Economic Council, pulled out some state-specific examples of the ways the cuts will hurt education, national defense, public health and the economy.
In Ohio, 350 teacher and teacher-aide jobs are at risk, which means 43,000 fewer students will be served, Furman said on a Sunday conference call with reporters. In Virginia, 90,000 civilian Department of Defense employees would be furloughed. About 4,180 fewer children in Georgia would get vaccines and, in Kentucky, 400 fewer victims of domestic violence would end up being served.

51% of Americans expressed their disapproval  with these conseqenses explained before in the republicans plan and what their governors have already done, so i think the Pres. is right to '
"stand his ground", the voter's are with him, he is no longer the naive newbie of past years. they have been telling and showing us what their real agenda is.
so then we should get more then 51% to disengage them from or political lives 2014 & 2016, or do w fall back to that indifference that got us what he is trying to fix, and if not fast enough look at who is putting up blockades, and this plan as you have heard will send us back to 2008, if we accept this,
Rev. Al, "a lot of things were acceptable, until we stopped accepting them".
