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.
Do you really think that they’d be considering the ‘fix’ if everyone hadn’t had a fit? This is the trial balloon to see what we’ll tolerate.

You totally miss the point. You should be worried because this little stunt by Ryan shows the GOP is happy to throw the middle class under the bus to get a deal with the Dems. Did the Dems cut obamaphones for their supporters? No. Did the GOP agree to cuts for their supporters. Yes.
That they will now do a deficit spending side deal to “fix” this is irrelevant. We have seen what the GOP is made of. BOHICA.

Bravo Sierra!
Had there not been “drama” they would have pushed it through. Every now and then our “representatives” in DC see what they can get away with. Ever watch them on the gun control issue?
