The White House met with reporters late Sunday to talk about the individual impact across the board that sequester cuts would have on states.
That report says that Pennsylvania would be deeply affected by the cuts.
The cuts, which would take place across the spectrum of federal spending, would impact education, travel safety, parks, health care, job assistance, child care and more.
Projections say for this year alone, Pennsylvania would lose 26.4 million dollars for education, 21.4 million for Children with Disabilities, 2 million more for fish and wildlife preservation and 1.3 million to fight public health threats.
Other cuts would impact 2300 Head Start children, 26,000 civilian defense jobs and 5300 fewer vaccines for kids.
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett responded by saying that the Obama Administration should not engage in scare tactics but rather work toward addressing the problems that led to the Sequester threat.
Lawmakers and the President have until Friday before those cuts kick in.
