Obama orders $85 billion in budget cuts

March 2, 2013

AFP - President Barack Obama has ordered $85 billion in budget cuts that could slow the US economy and slash jobs, after blaming Republicans for refusing to stop the "dumb" spending cuts.

Obama complied with his legal obligations and initiated the automatic, across-the-board cuts in domestic and defense spending, following the failure of efforts to clinch a deal with Republicans on cutting the deficit.
