“This may have been a fatal mistake. We shall see.”
I hope not, as a vet (1978-85) I get next to no benefits as it is, so be it. I think everything should be on the table.
I think the Republicans should take a page from the Dems, they passed Obamacare instead of tweaking around the edges, the Republicans should cut EVERYTHING 2% each year for the next ten years - in 10 years the government will be 20% smaller than today.
Am I wrong in thinking that veterans as a group are more likely to vote for a Republican candidate? If I were a Republican politician, I don't think that these are the voters I would choose to alienate. Our military has enough to bear as it is these days.
