When are federal cuts detrimental to jobs?

*ONLY* when they're defense jobs.
“I’ve been told by some of our major (defense contractor) employers that layoff notices are going to come before the election.  It’s dangerous and irresponsible for Congress to play with this." -- Senator Kelly Ayotte (R - NH).
So according to Republican theory of Economics, Keynesian spending works for defense jobs, but austerity works for all other sectors.
