I agree some what. ANY cuts in the socialist spending agenda is a good thing. As with my wife and I, if we save $50, $100, or $500, it is saved and can be used another day. We have tried to cut as much as we can. We have cut back on a good many things. We don’t go to movies any more and of course haven’t for the most part for years, we cut back on eating out, we cut back on other things. The gov-ment has not given a SS check increase or retired military pay increase in two years. We don’t look for one this year. My wife’s Medicare insurance is said to be going to triple in the next three years and the gov-ment wants to triple or more our retired military health care payments also. That is going to cost us an additional $500-$750 per month by the time they are done for health care increases. We still do not know where we are going to get that from out of our budget. I guess we will quit eating all together.
And unlike the Feds you’re not using the credit card for everything for half of every year - and certainly not calling a 2% reduction in it’s use a major breakthrough.
Well, when they cut your retirement resources, after it is too late to adjust your retirement plans accordingly, you have just been screwed. They are doing it to everyone.
