I don’t know how you’re going to get federal workers to contribute more to their pensions with no corresponding cuts to the military side.

I just do not get why Jim hasn’t blown your GOP excuse making idiocy into Viking Kitty hell by now. Every day it’s a new excuse from you.

Am I the only one that sees this people?

I have a better idea. Close down the 50% plus Unconstitutional federal agencies. Good places to start? EPA, Dept of Education, Dept of Energy, Dept of Labor, ATF, FDA, Homeland Security and cut the NSA. It should be put on notice either straighten up or be shut down, I can think of a lot of places to cut before cutting our military.

Besides our military unlike our beloved ones on Government Unionized Pay have been cut many times and our military stands at a 1996 level likely less now in actual allowed troops. Can't we do the same for government agencies?

by upping foreign aid to Somalia!

That always helps.

I agree with you. Although I hope Ryan does indeed work to “reverse pension cuts for former service members retired for medical reasons...”, I think there have to be SOME cuts on the military side. I am baffled by freepers’ hostility to proposed modest cuts in cost-of-living increases.
