Osama Mama is a scatterbrain leftist and I don’t believe a word she says as one of my senators.

They could have cut a lot more if they cut earned income tax credits to illegals.

One of the highest IQs in Congress and one of the lowest making law for the rest of us.

Compromise, DC style.

The deal cuts pension cost of living raises by one percentage point for military retirees who aren't disabled and not yet 62 years old. Cost of living hikes are automatic raises intended to keep up with inflation.

She lied, the provision for the disabled was removed before the Senate voted on it.

Let’s all get together and send Patty some of that Peace Dividend we all got back during the Clinton years. Oh....that’s right.....the Democrats just spent that buying votes. I, for one, am proud.....proud.....to know that the money they take from me will be put to good use like paying make-believe pig farmers and putting up make-believe EPA secret agents in five star hotels.
Hail Democratland!

“We had to look at how we could find compromises.”
Now, that’s the way to come up with a budget. I had to develop financial projections and budgets. I never used the old Compromise method she talks about. She needs to explain it. Here, I’ll help her out. They believe that the Defense Budget is like a crosstown high school football game. The Democrat team needed something to cheer about, so the Democrats threw the retired Veterans to them. There was no financial analysis. There was no prioritizing based on the needs of the nation. There was just good old Democrat discrimination to appease their base. They behaved like ten year olds. Makes you proud, don’t it. Hail Democratland. Get rid of The Stars And Stripes. It doesn’t mean anything any more. Hail Democratland!

I am one of the retired military impacted by this bill.

I called my congressman’s office asking for a face to face meeting with him. Nope. No time on Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA)’s calendar for several months. No time at all.

Congressman Hunter voted for this bill.

And, porculous Patty is supposed to be a big advocate for veterans. She is always bragging about what she does for vets in her newsletter.

Sen. Patty Murray, co-crafter of the bipartisan budget agreement and member of the veterans affair committee, said Wednesday cuts to pension benefits for some military veterans under the spending plan was a part of a compromise to avoid billions in cuts to the defense industry.

That is the biggest load of sh*t of the year.

Back stabber ryan said that it was about time that these military personel take a cut since the federal workers have taken cut after cut.

Well I guess that there is nothing in the government that could be cut other that this back stabbing shameless cut.

And then he smiles and pats himself on the back.
