Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) believes that it’s time that US military veterans do their part for America by taking a cut to their retirement benefits
Because, of course, veterans haven’t done enough for the country.
Members of Congress, however, should take no such cuts. According to the rather despicable gun-control advocating Senator Schumer, the government officials have sacrificed enough.
Civilian federal employees have been cut, cut, cut. I think there was a feeling, if you’re going to cut them further, which was done, that the military retirees should have about an equal amount. It’s small,” the New York Democrat told MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.
“I think (Rep.) Paul Ryan and (Sen.) Patty Murray looked everywhere they could to try and find compromise. Everybody had to take a little,” Schumer said.
“They’re going to have to pay a tiny, little bit into it, which they never have,” he added. But Schumer maintained members of Congress should not be forced to take a pay cut. He said they have already sacrificed, since they have not seen a pay raise “in a long time,” and explained most of them are paying more for healthcare insurance.
“We have taken pretty big cuts,” he said. (source)
Let’s tally up the numbers to put things in perspective: •The average pension for a retired veteran was $9,669 in 2011. (source) •The salary for a US Senator is $174,000. (source)
Just so this statistic is perfectly clear, the members of Congress bring in over 17 times the amount that retired vets do.
Despite this, veterans under the age of 62 will be looking at a 1% per year cut in their benefits. Members of Congress will not be looking at any reduction.

New York is trying get marijuana laws reformed, looks like Chickie is ahead of the crowd, methinks all the smoke he’s blowing is medicinal.
Very good! To paraphrase Chris Matthews when comparing Cruz with Joe McCarthy, “Schumer does have that Oswald-like visage!!”
Being exempt from insider trading laws and having the ability to work from within the halls of Congress as lobbyists isn’t enough. Congress STILL needs their pension money!
Congress should be working for minimum wage ,living in military barracks and eating at military kitchens , when they go home it should be in military transport and dropped off by parachute
Congressmen should not get retirement benefits. Period.
FReep You Chuckie Schumer (FUCS)!!
Kapo!
Amen. Term limit the bastards.
The reason Schmucky wears a necktie is to prevent the foreskin from covering his mouth.
Slimeball!
Schumer is a self-serving little man.
He knows as much about what the military have given to this country as does Kanye West.
Delusional and evil morons. It’s beyond time these people be removed from office by force.
FU Schmucky Chucky.
- Schumer is the stereotypical creep
- Chuckie is the perfect NAZI
Technical error my butt... These people are lower than worm poop.
Patty Murray is saying it was a big mistake....but chuky boy shows their true colors!!!
Since when do you get a pension for being a veteran? This budget deal affects military retirees not all veterans....Note to author: All military retirees are veterans but not all veterans are military retiress.
This is the liberal ruling elite. They should all be in jail.
