The number 3 loser was about benefits. These Congress critters and administrators moan that the benefits are too much and most people who serve 20 years get out. Well, duh. Obviously no one proposing these changes in retirement must have served in the military. 20 years in the military is, in most cases, equivalant to 40 years in civilian world. The other thing that is ironic is I believe Congress critters get benefits for life, even if they just serve one 4 or 6 year term. Hypocrits! Cut your own benefits before touching the benefits of our troops.

How much does this country spend on illegals (on or under the table)? The Dems would rather throw our vets under the bus than touch any entitlements for illegals. After all, there are fewer of them and more illegals all the time.

As a retiree whose medical file at retirement was as thick as a NY Yellow Pages Phone Book, telling of multiple shattered or broken bones, lacerations, dislocations, and sundry other injuries; Kongress Kritters need to cut their own benefits before they even think of looking at cutting ours.
