The military doesn’t contribute to 0’s campaign fund.
The military is a constitutional function of the government. O-hole hates the constitution, ergo, O-hole hates the military. That and he is a homo.

I guess it isn’t enough to scrap my contractor job with USJFCOM; now he’s coming after military retirements.
Prick.
However, I have a close Air Force relative who served a tour in the Pentagon and came away completely disillusioned.
He said the waste, redundancy, over-staffed problems are great. But what bothered him most was the large number of civilian technicians and managers, so-called experts, whose opinions and decisions on critical matters were seriously skewed, not only on operational issues but on supply and logistics as well. He suggested it was a matter of the intellectual as opposed to the experienced.
I understand Rumsfelt was quietly working the problem trying not to make too many waves. Bureaucracy's are tough to clean up!!
The biggest expense will be when they destroy the military. When this happens, we will all be in a world of hurt. As for our veterans, the government needs to take care of them no matter what. These people have done everything our country has asked of them. Even to the point of putting their lives on the line for them. How can we, the American people, turn our backs on them. Compared to the teachers and unions..........our military is far above them and deserve much more.
As are Congressional and Federal employee pensions...

As are state/public workers pensions....as are union pensions....as indicated in this thread, a whole $hit load of them.....that is the next real bubble given the baby boomers getting ready to allegedly retire.
I concur with the other people here though: Why just the military pensions being targeted? Opps, my bad, I know why.... =.=

you forgot that is is a druggie too.
I think we're gettin’ close to end of that awkward stage Claire Wolfe mentioned. I'm glad I'm too old, too fat and too married to get mixed up in it.
“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? “

Truth Is—nobody ever unscrews anything once screwed—dems, pubs, whatever—all just part of a two-headed coin—pick Mr/Ms Flim or Flam, but don’t expect any real difference—it ain’t coming.
This from the administration that fairly quietly gutted most of the welfare reform provisions that had reduced welfare significantly. Easy to see where Obama’s priorities are.
Military pay and benefits are not affordable. The same is true for all government pay, which now includes many unions now subsidized by the federal government with borrowed dollars. We will stop living like we have unlimited resources and benevolence. Some choose frugality out of a sense of morality and responsibility, others have it thrust upon them in the name of survival. The thrust is underway.
I have to say I agree with this- the days of “20 and out” should be LONG GONE
who in the private sector gets to work 20 years then retire? at age 38? with full pension?
And I mean ALL GOVERNMENT JOBS(state, local, federal- NOT just the military)
Right ON!!!!!!!!!
Food Stamps will never be cut.
“Board members believe that avoiding a looming fiscal crisis will require cutting the Defense budget beyond Secretary Gates’ recently announced target of a $100-billion reduction in “overhead” spending.”
This is the perfect example of the cancer of government spending. How fast has it grown? Well, I’m glad you asked. The Secretary of Defense announced a target of $100 billion reduction of “overhead spending” in The Defense Budget. A reduction, mind you, of an amount equal to the entire federal budget during one year of Lyndon Johnson’s presidency. This nation had its first $100 billion dollar budget in the mid 1960’s and now just one department has enough money budgeted that it can consider the reduction of that same amount.
A cancer that spreads that fast is just as fatal to a nation is it is to humans.
