House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) has scrubbed a document to remove a false statement about the budget deal he cut with Senate Budget Committee chairwoman Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA), Breitbart News has learned.
An original talking point in the document claimed the plans cuts to military pensions for wounded warriors, or service members who retired as a result of disability or injury, would not be affected.
The section of the original document, at the end of page two and top of page three, is titled: Annual adjustment of retired pay and retainer pay amounts for retired members of the Armed Forces under age 62.

In the document currently hosted on Ryans Budget Committee website, that claim has been scrubbed from that section in addition to other changes.
Note the change only came after the deal was done. More lies from Washington.
If they want to scrub that lie then they need to scrub that vote, as well.
There are no Republicans or Democrats....just a bunch of career politicians making backroom deals to make themselves wealthier. I say it’s time to water the Tree of Liberty.
that waskally Paul Ryan playing twicks again
Maybe its time for another ‘Ryan Plan’
My stepson, age 32 now, lost two limbs in Iraq in 2008. He’s retired/disabled from USMC. I think he has paid his dues, and should not be subject to cuts in benefits. It is not like he can go out and supplement his income now.
OK. Let’s move all the interceptors to red states and let anybody who wants one a free shot at the blue states.
Does anyone notice the similarity between Ryan’s statement and:
“If you like your Insurance then you can keep it.”
IOW, if you like your service-related disability, you can keep your service-related disability ...
.
.
... (or not).
.
It is interesting how when you cut the increase in payments going to illegal aliens it is a counted as a cut, but when you actually cut the benefits to soldiers injured in the line of duty its swept under the rug.
I hope ryan understands the depth of his betrayal.
Your stepson and the thousands like him deserve better, much better than this government and in many cases, this country are paying them in compensation for their sacrifice and service...
Crooks covering up their lies.
Paul Ryan is a slimy little worm.
Sen. Patty Murray: Cuts to Disabled Veterans in Budget a Mistake
In an incredible juxtaposition, it is Sen Murray, a Democrat, working with Sen Chambliss (R-GA) took to the Senate floor 2 days ago vowing correct this, and to protect disabled veterans from pension cuts.
Paul Ryan, Eric Cantor, and John Boehner have all crawled into their spider holes and have not said one word about correcting this outrage through legislation.
