This week, our "Newsmakers" guest is Rep. Buck McKeon (R-Calif.). He talked about the impact sequestration will have on the military, his own alternative bill that would cut the budget by reducing the federal workforce through attrition, cuts to some specific defense programs, and how the U.S. is addressing issues in Afghanistan, Iran and other regions.
McKeon serves as Armed Services Committee Chairman and, this week his committee held hearings on the proposed 2013 budgets for various military branches.
