A message from Congressman Ted Yoho
"Additionally, last week I cosponsored legislation that would repeal the provision in the resolution that would affect military pensions. In order to offset that repeal, this legislation would tackle child tax credits that are being sent out fraudulently. By ensuring that recipients have proper Social Security Numbers, we can cut down on fraud and save billions of dollars. That money can then be used to reinstate any effect this legislation had on military pensions. Also, Congress will ensure that retired pay for disabled veterans are not affected as well as those who receive survivor benefits. Finally, I am working on my own legislation to make sure there is parity among any changes to veteran's pensions and Members of Congress and the Administration's pensions. If there is a change to veteran's pensions, so too should there be one for Members of Congress. We have a responsibility to live by the laws we pass. As these bills move forward, rest assured I will keep you informed."
I don't know what the final outcome will be, but I know this. I have a pretty good feel for reading political winds.
The outrage of what Congress did to the military, disabled veterans, and retired military has only begun.
Our elected masters are figuring just that out.
