GOP kills a bunch of old white men vets with reduction of benefits
Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI) and Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA). The deal increases discretionary domestic spending to over $1 trillion a year, by eliminating most the the sequester cuts. The deal pays for the spending hike through increased user fees and spending cuts, half of which occur a decade from now. One of the near-term spending cuts, however, is to reduce pension benefits for current veterans and active-duty military.
The Ryan-Murray budget deal hikes federal spending by $65 billion over the next two years. This spending is "paid for" by an increase in user fees, budget cuts in 2022 and 2023 and small reductions in current spending. One of these reductions is in pension benefits to veterans younger than 62. The budget deal would reduce the yearly cost-of-living adjustments for these military veterans. It would even impact those veterans who were forced to retire due to injuries sustained in the service of our country. As my colleague Matt Boyle reported,House GOP leaders knew that the pension changes would impact vets. |

Although I think it's a crappy thing for the government to do, I don't see how "veterans younger than 62" can be considered "old", especially in this newsgroup. If I were Tyrant of the United States, I'd see to it that serving military personnel and veterans were generously rewarded for their service. Cindy Hamilton -- |

Cindy Hamilton Not only is it a crappy thing to do but several studies conducted in the late 1970's concluded that military retirees bodies were chronologically advanced by 12-15 years over their peers who did not serve within the military. Methinks that one of the requirements for being allowed to run for a government office is a valid DD-214 showing honorable active service in the US military. |

Doesn't that automatically eliminate anybody who would consider running for congress? Once you've stooped so low as to even consider it, any honor you might have once possessed has certainly trickled away and been replaced by power-mad avarice. |
