Another betrayal of the military by The One.

Teacher and union pensions are, though.

It is expensive...but no more than say...union or teacher pensions or gasp...a Congressional pension. Why single out the military? / rhetorical question...

[DuncanWaring]

But UAW retirement is no problem whatsoever.

Government non-military retirement gold-plating is what is driving the un-sustainable bleeding of Taxpayers.

Go back to "Public Service" being a limited-term position, eliminate Unionization of public sector employees, and limit hiring and wage increases to Government agencies, without SPECIFIC approval of The People.

Because the military will follow orders and actually make reductions. In the meantime, fraud is rampant in the entitlement programs that consume almost half of the federal budget.

What about the rest of the Government?

This will do wonders for ongoing recruitment and for a stable, superbly-trained career officer class.

Won't be long before we have attritted down to an effete "by-all-means-DO-show-and-tell" military.

Well what do you expect? After all, military folks are usually REPUBLICAN donors!!!

[nmh]

Instead we will fund UNIONIZED teachers and ALL GOVERNMENT workers. Gee, I though our MILITARY worked for the GOVERNMENT? Guess Obama REALLY HATES our military.

But the Mongrel can cut the food stamp program to pay teachers & replenish their pension accounts.

Semper U2!

Let me ask this kinda dumb question...WHEN the pubs take over both houses can they retract all those FREAKIN bills? Of course that is if they find a spine to do it with cause you know the mediaWHORES will give them HELL at every turn calling them racists and sorts! Can they stop any bills the JOKER has signed from taking form yet?

[saganite]

They mostly vote Republican? Just guessing.

The saudi agents job is to get as many American troops killed to entertain the Saudi king.
