It all started with backstabber ryan and his “intervertent mistake” of doing nothing about the removal of the mistake, so he says, from the bill.

I hope he is sleeping well at night knowing that it is all a lie. but then again people like him affirm that the people who are elected are nothing but liars who think the voters are stupid.

Ryan and Murray lied when they said they "never intended" to included military widows and disabled retirees in the pension cuts.

The truth is, they did want them cut, and are only back tracking now, saying it was a "mistake" because for some incredible reason, they are completely shocked that the public is outraged that military heroes were singled out for massive cuts to their pensions while TANF welfare, Food Stamps, SS Disability, Medicaid, Section 8 Housing Vouchers, 37 Duplicate Federal Job Training Programs, etc were protected and had no cuts.

Moreover, even the proposed "fix" they are talking about will only cover those who were medically retired before 20 years. Some of those were combat injured, but many were not. You can be medically retired for almost anything. But combat wounded, the maimed, and Purple Heart heroes who stuck it out for 20 years after their injuries, fought the VA for a disability rating are SCREWED, even if they were maimed and they have a 100% disability rating - their retirement pensions will be cut, regardless.

Nice, huh?
