end ObamaPhones for one thing Cost: $2.2 BILLION.....per year.
The "savings" of screwing our retired and current military by stealing their pensions.......$6 Billion OVER TEN YEARS.
But, there was just "nowhere else" to cut.

They could have cut a lot more if they cut earned income tax credits to illegals.

One of the highest IQs in Congress and one of the lowest making law for the rest of us.
Compromise, DC style.

The deal cuts pension cost of living raises by one percentage point for military retirees who aren't disabled and not yet 62 years old. Cost of living hikes are automatic raises intended to keep up with inflation.She lied, the provision for the disabled was removed before the Senate voted on it.

Sen Sessions tried to insert an amendment to end the EITC tax refund loophole for Illegal Aliens. Sen Reid would not even allow it to make to the Senate floor for a vote.
Merry Christmas Disabled Veterans.
But hey, Paul "Benedict" Ryan got his pound of flesh.

Let’s all get together and send Patty some of that Peace Dividend we all got back during the Clinton years. Oh....that’s right.....the Democrats just spent that buying votes. I, for one, am proud.....proud.....to know that the money they take from me will be put to good use like paying make-believe pig farmers and putting up make-believe EPA secret agents in five star hotels.
Hail Democratland!

THIS will come back on them in the next election. The Rats aren't worried about that.
They don't count on military votes anyway - those few that the Rat machine lets through the system.
They rely on the takers and queers, and that seems to keep them on top - especially when our guys stay home.
To: grobdriver
There’s millions of vets out here,and the vast majority vote.They can suppress the active military vote,but not the vets.
