White House: Budget Cuts 'Destructive' for Pentagon Sep 14th 2012, 19:50 Published September 14, 2012 Associated Press A White House report is warning that $110 billion in across-the-board spending cuts at the start of the new year would be "deeply destructive" to the military and core government responsibilities like patrolling U.S. borders and air traffic control.  The Obama administration says the automatic cuts, mandated by the failure of last year's congressional deficit "supercommittee" to strike a deal, would require an across-the-board cut of 9 percent to most Pentagon programs and an 8 percent cut to many domestic programs.  The cuts, combined with the expiration of Bush-era tax cuts at the end of this year, have been dubbed a "fiscal cliff" for the country. Economists warn that the one-two punch could drive the economy back into recession.
