What Effect Does Budget Cuts Have On Aircraft Accident Rates

The Military Times newspaper compiled data regarding 7500 US Military Aircraft Incident/Accidents beginning in 2011.

Their Data shows a marked increase in the number of Accidents beginning the severe budget cuts imposed by Congress as part of the Sequestration Agreement.

A Forty Percent increase was noted.

Does money or the lack of money play a significant role in the accident rate of a Military Flight Operation?
