Pentagon budget cuts threaten military readiness, Smith warns
House Armed Services ranking member Rep. Adam Smith warns that proposed Pentagon cuts to aircraft, ships, bases, and benefits could erode training and fuel/ammunition budgets, leaving warfighters at greater risk in future crises. He urges another round of base closures and program reductions. Separately, House votes to freeze salaries at 174,000 dollars for the sixth straight year, citing funding for Congress and ending automatic cost of living increases since 2009.
