Looks like the governmet finally found something they could cut. Granted, I get a great deal on my health coverage, having retired after 20yrs of service, but a nearly 100% increase is definitely not a "fair share" increase. Some animals are more equal than others, I suppose. Yet, we'll still fork money over to planned parenthood by the shovel full. And, before anyone complains about the amount we pay for health care, keep in mind, I was ready for some level of increase without complaint. I just think this is a bit over the top. Pannetta is "keeping faith" with the milirary. HA! Wait till you get out, suckers!

The funds raised in these FReepathons go to pay our current quarter expenses. But we're also going to try to replace some of our older servers and failing equipment this year so we're going to add a little extra to our FReepathon goals. John is estimating ten to fifteen thousand to do this and I'd like to get it all in place and working before the election cycle is fully heated up, so we'll try to bring in a little extra now, if we can, and the rest next quarter.

“changes” always seems to mean that you will be paying more...

Veterans and retirees evidently the one class of lower middle class Americans being expected to pay “a fair share” of increased tax
Of course the obama media will used retired generals turned Beltway bandits with gold plated health benefits as your typical retirees when in truth, most retired soldiers get far less than retired teachers
Remind me again how much more unions are being asked to pay for their taxpayer-subsidized benefits?
But hey, at least our BIRTH CONTROL AND ABORTIONS will be FREE

Soldiers and retirees understand this well. We have an acronym for it: BOHICA. Grab your ankles brothers and sisters. Unless, in November, we rid ourselves of Barry and Leon, it will only get worse..

So this is the promised free for life health care we paid for with a lien on our very lives for 20 or more years?
