This is what I don't understand, the government is threatening to close down a civilian  operated air base control tower because of the cuts, but they have more money than they did last year. Where the hell is it going?

I think it's either a matter of (a) the "cuts" are structured in such a way that stupid things are being forced to happen or (b) the most important things will be done away with so that even this pitiful effort at reducing spending will seem so unbearable that people will beg Washington to spend more. I mean, even more more. Since they're already spending more.
