Those Democrat city retirees in Detroit are about to get their reward for voting for Democrats all those years....a nice 80% cut in their pensions. How loud do you think they are screaming? They don’t have the guts to look in the mirror and say, “We brought this on ourselves.” So, they threaten military retirement to try and get a bone to throw to the city retirees from Detroit.

I didn't even consider that one. Hmmmm.....so by next month, Obama could stand up and announce he is coming to the rescue of the Detroit pensioners, while at the same time the ink is not dry on a deal to take from military retirees.

Wow.

Look at the negotiating strategy on this. The Democrats want something.....no increase in federal civilian employee donations to their retirement. So, they threaten military retirements. First, don’t the politicians work for everyone? If the Democrat politicians only work for federal civilian employees, then they should say that. Then, we can start sending Democrat IRS employees to Afghanistan to fight. That would be fun to see. The federal budget isn’t decided by “tit-for-tat”. The federal budget should be developed to get the maximum effectiveness and efficiency out of every hard-earned American tax dollar for the citizens of The United States. It’s not there to just buy Democrat votes. If it is, let all Americans know so we can start the new revolution.
