I read Ryan’s write-up on retirees. It is stunning deception.
His argument is that retiree benefits have disproportionately grown over the last decade or so.
Pure deception...he knows that the Bush era recognized that the military lagged behind comparable civilian jobs and began a program to increase pay. As pay was increased for a while at 2 times COLA and at others at COLA, OF COURSE, it increased faster than other parts of the federal system.
And, since retirement pay is connected to base pay, retirement pay increased.
PURE sleight of hand and deception.
His argument is a flat lie. We barely get any raise after taxes. A puny $35 or so a month. BS. He will never get a vote of mine in any election. Nothing but a liberal puke in my book now. Supporting his pal Obama.
