He was going to cut military retirement and give that money to the Democrats so they could buy votes.
He’s a shirthead.
Oh. Not only military retirement - from current military members who already budgeted for that income, but from the widows fund.
active duty military have or had the option of purchasing a survivor benefit plan, allowing the surviving spouse of a retiree to collect a portion of retirement which ceases upon the member’s death.
It is a purchase and a contract.

Not future signees.
No
Breach of contract.
While non taxpayers are collecting benefits
Ryan does not belong in any leadership position. He should be slinging has at a local diner...maybe.
Oh. And Looking at his mug makes me certain I am glad he is not vice president, and more certain I will remember to NOT vote GOP establishment.
