Pinheads often overlook the consequences of their actions. Take Obamacare for example. They had no idea it would put the freeze on hiring like it did. We've heard them moan and groan about "military cuts" for years, because liberals hate the military... if it were up to them, honest to God, I think they would totally disband the military altogether... to hell with consequence! They don't think or worry about the consequence until they have to face it, then they pretend it was some unforeseen thing, no one could have anticipated, and churn out even more liberal stupidity to deal with the consequence.
Cuts in the defense budget, whether the "right thing to do" or not, will result in people losing their jobs, companies folding, entire communities turning into ghost towns overnight, due to the negative economic impact. There is no part of the liberals "cut defense" plan, which addresses or deals with this consequence, because consequences are ignored by liberals. They will deal with implementation of some other stupid liberal cockamamie idea to deal with the consequences as they develop.
THe hiring freeze started well before President Obama was even elected? WTH are you talking about?
