The sources just threw out the $4000 with no explanation. Several lobbyists used the 1% reduction per year stretched over a period of years, for example $400 for one year will compound to $800 the next tear and 1200 the year after that, etc, etc… The $4000 figure as an average figure by lobbyist showing the average cost over a span of years.

I don't give a damn what the amount is - they shouldn't take a nickel from our military retirees - they earned it by virtue of their service and sacrifice - but for that service and sacrifice we would be in chains - which is exactly where this benighted regime is taking us!



America demands Justice for the Fallen of Benghazi!

O stranger, tell the Lacedaemonians that we lie here, obedient to their command.

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

There seems to be no stopping the Senate vote this week that will place this betrayal of our active duty and veterans into concrete law. several Republicans have already said they will give Harry Reid their vote so he will have the required 60. There was some talk of removing the provision that betrays the military, but it appears it was all bluster and lies. Several news media have reported extensively about the behind the scenes villains who engineered this back stab to military retirement. Paul Ryan is the chief culprit - he insisted on this. How does the GOP sound to everyone now?
