The article focuses on the 2013 budget cuts or sequestration and small businesses making a living on government contracts. There are conflicting news on the effect of the U.S. government's move of cutting its budget. One believes that due to their small projects, small contracts might be deemed nonessential and be scrapped. Another predicts that contracts on small projects may increase due to the failure of the government to set aside a required 23% for small businesses.
