I heard that defunding the FAA means a total loss of 70,000 jobs?
This includes the contractors dependent on FAA. How many more jobs will be lost when massive across the board budget cuts are made?
The FAA still hasn't been refunded, and cuts have already been made. Unless its funding is not restored, the end result will be a loss of 70,000 jobs. That includes the people who will have to stop working on airport remodels, etc.

These are the very same right-wing extremists who campaigned on "creating JOBS," as I recall. So far, the GOP-controlled (and their controllers, the teabagging minority within their own party) 112th House of Representatives has been rated by Huffington Post and LA Times (to name two) to be the "LEAST PRODUCTIVE since Herbert Hoover"!
Defunding the Federal Aviation Association (FAA) has indeed led to layoffs, and one has to wonder if the recent mid-air collision of two planes may have some relation to the FAA being nonoperational. These right-wing economically illiterate Republicans will not eliminate costly tax loopholes for billionaire businesses, but they fail to fund agencies that oversee public safety! Their priorities are all upside-down and bass-ackwards, that's for sure!

And of course you have a link to anywhere that is saying that the FAA is getting defunded, right?

Oh so, now Democrats actually care about government contractors. The very group they love to criticize and vilify.
