I’d have no problem if this “solution” to our debt crisis became effective for the first recruit that walked in after passage. He could then make an informed decision about whether to join or stay for a career. But this ex post facto trap shows a real lack of good faith toward people who made career decisions thinking promises mean something, which they clearly do not to politicians. A pox on both houses if they don’t turn this around.

I agree. The new recruits being under this new rule would be ok with me. However, all this drama over this was ridiculous. I KNEW it was never going to be implemented in the first place. People just like to complain and be worried for nothing. It was kind of embarrassing to see the Veterans react in that way. I am under this new law and I was not concerned a bit. I even expressed my views on that on FR and of course of bashed by the “sky is falling” crowd.
“technical error” = stupidity
Both sides a re running scared after getting back to their districts.
The simple truth this was known publicly for two days before the House voted on it and then after that passage, a fix amendment was not allowed to see the Senate by you know who.
So now with all of this consternation by those who refused to fix it when they could, now we get this pile of political crap because no one in their right mind will see a way that the Senate will ever take it up.
VOTE ALL THE SMARMY BASSSTURDS OUT WHO VOTED FOR IT. EVERY LAST FRIGGIN ONE OF THEM!
