So this is the promised free for life health care we paid for with a lien on our very lives for 20 or more years?
Yes it is Brother. When I posted this last night, it was all I could do to keep profanity out of the post. This is Panetta’s plan and it is up to his discretion how he cuts the $500 billion. This will happen. The Administration parses their words about what is getting cut and the media (80% lib anyway) nods in agreement.
Since the Republicans took congress they have managed to push the democrats to cut a paltry $38 mil from spending. Most cuts are lies based on future growth “baseline” projections. This premium increase is the only thing I’ve seen that isn’t a baseline cut. It’s real, and I bet most retirees won’t find out about it till they get the bill in the mail.
Like another person said on this thread. they use Generals and Admirals as their examples of fat benifits....
I had more to say. Ah, screw it! WIth folks like John McCain as our only protecton from being picked apart, all is most definitely lost. I’l never say it was a mistake to serve, but it was most definitely a mistake to stay. It’s just a matter of time until they take it all back. I could’ve used those years differently.
