The NSC states "The Budget Control Act (BCA) was enacted in 2011 to increase the national debt ceiling in exchange for more than $2 trillion in federal funding cuts over the next 10 years. Under the BCA, $109 billion in automatic, across-the-board cuts (“sequesters”) to both defense and non-defense discretionary (NDD) programs will go into effect on January 2, 2013."

"If Congress fails to stop sequestration, workforce development programs will be cut by 20 percent more. Missouri job training programs will lose $12 million in 2013 and will serve 37,000 fewer people."
