"The military retirement system is overly generous....most of these younger retirees go on to second careers.... the money we save from this reform will go right back to the military..."
Disposable: Paul Ryan's Budget Epitomizes How Washington Actually Sees Veterans
“The pope maintains that he wants to de-emphasize the church’s position on issues like abortion and gay marriage and instead concentrate on more important problems such as helping the poor and the underprivileged.”
What’s more important than the destruction of civilization (redefining marriage) and demographic suicide (abortion)? If the poor simply got married and stayed married, poverty would be a lot less.
This pope sure does say a lot of stupid things.
Hitler and Stalin were regarded as pleasant and affable by entire legions of the populace.
These “younger retirees” are typically in their 40’s looking for jobs to supplement a 20,000 a year retirement takehome from the government.
It’s never been easy to get hired in one’s 40’s, and if your specialty has been blowing things up and shooting people and training for the same, then there aren’t that many job openings.
(Although Homeland Security dreams of the day....)
I say “The congressional retirement system is overly generous....most of these retirees go on to second careers working for lobbyists and getting paid to sit on boards and do nothing but draw a paycheck....and they keep a millions in campaign funds.... the money we save by getting rid of these frauds will be savings for the people...”
Ryan and people like him, can’t understand that the men and women in the military get paid a lot less than their civilian counterparts. In fact, if you consider the hours they’re actually on duty the pay is dismal. Plus, their families are part of it but don’t get paid jack.
I hope Ryan loses his conservative support. If he loses just a little the democrats in his district will send him to work for the lobbyists.
I’m skeptical of any man that parts his hair on the female side of the head...
