Sen. Patty Murray said a "technical error" in the bipartisan budget deal accidentally would cut pension benefits for retired disabled military veterans, but vowed the problem will be fixed immediately.
The Washington state Democrat, who brokered the deal with Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wis., took to the Senate floor Wednesday and promised the "unintended inclusion" would be remedied before the chamber votes on the bill and that benefits for disabled military pensioners wouldn't be cut.
"All of us know that our disabled veterans have made tremendous sacrifices for our nation and deserve the peace of mind that their benefits will not be adjusted under this compromise legislation," Murray said on the Senate floor Wednesday.
"The technical error certainly can, should and will be addressed."

The “technical error” being that Harry Reid wouldn’t let anyone vote on it the first time.
Beyond disgusting.

Careful. You might get a veto from Obama for re-funding Veterans.

Isackson from Georgia said it was “mistakenly” included in the bill.

Uh huh... sure it is just a technical snafu... it was so technical that schumer blasted his “they have to take the cuts for America” garbage because it was just a technical glitch that was going to be fixed. I love division and fear in dims... I absolutely adore it!

Does anybody actually read the legislation before they vote on it? Heard Sen. Coburn on the radio this morning where he said, “that wasn’t the intent of the bill.” Intent? How would he know? He didn’t read it any more than the sponsors did. Now everybody act surprised!

The only “error” here is Patty Murray and it’s more than technical.

Hey Washington: If you like your senator you can keep your senator. But, if you don't like your senator you know what to do.

I saw Manchin last night on some talk show and he was asked....did you believe the President when he said 80% of people would not be affected by Obamacare?
I almost screamed. Why didn’t he read the fricking bill instead of depending on Obama to interpret it for him?
Stupid bassturds!
