Curious as to how much of an increase in Tricare will be applied to working age retirees.

It’s my understanding that Gates is really not making those cuts. He’s simply moving the money to other places.
The VFW details the proposed cuts. Some are necessary while others I question.
For every dollar cut in Defense, cut 3 dollars from Depts of Energy, Education and Labor
We give 6 billion dollars a year to the UN. Billions in foreign aid..we should stop giving away foreign aid until our own economy becomes solvent.
You would think they’d START cutting there 1st.
The annual DoD budget is about $780 billion. So he’s talking about 2% cut.
Not enough. Not even close.
You could zero out the Depts of Energy, Education and Labor. It would not be enough. Not even close.
Sounds good
Gotta start somewhere
heretic.
May they have mercy on you when the thought police come for your sorry rear..
I think it would be more accurate to say that Gates is not making these cuts. Obama is.
Get rid of the EPA which has cost this nation billions; stop bail outs; stop billions to the UN and nations that hate us; stop paying the medical, educational and food stamps tab for illegals...all should be stopped now.
Education is also heavily subsidized by local taxes.
Might I suggest as the first DoD cut, the funds for the Teddy Kennedy Ant-American Institute?
Fixed!
