Reread the first sentence of my post(Here's a bunch of things I'd cut before I'd cut military benefits and medicare)

Do you all have a problem with cutting the items on my list
or do you believe illegal aliens, foreigners, and the alphabet soup of regulatory agencies who bypass congress in regulating our lives have priority over retired military and those who had money confiscated as a condition of their employment with the promise of an annuity at retirement?

No, not at all. I got no problem with your choices. The point I was trying to make is that it’s easy to say I’d cut but difficult to say we’ll cut... that’s all. Sorry, didn’t mean to be mysterious.

(1) I have no problems with cutting all the things you mentioned.

(2) Cutting them all will postpone the Social Security/Medicare day of reckoning by a few years at best. What then??

(3) No one was "promised" an "annuity". Unless you believe Democrats, that is.
