Thank you for reiterating the point.

This bill takes away promised distribution of survivor benifits as well.

Survivor benifits are purchased by the military guy. They purchase a plan, which provides for their spouse after the military guy dies.

When a military guy dies, salary and retirement stops, and so fast it would curl your hair.

This provides like a thousnd dollars a month. It’s an insurance policy bought, signed, documented.

What if an IRA fund, which promised under contract, a deal, just changed the deal reducing a fixed interest rate?

Its like if a mortgage company increased a fixed interest rate just on certain people but the most vulnerable, and the most needy and the most deserving?

That’s what this is.

While people are buying all kinds of ridiculous things with food stamps, Medicare and giving federal benifits to illegal immigrants, Paul Ryan’s congressionally approved plan illegally takes money away from vets future widows, because they can.

It is the lowest thing I have ever seen done.

I guarantee, these trusting folks have no idea what was just taken from them.

The military is being robbed.

Their spouses are, in effect, paying for the wars, which, according to Ryan, is what this plan is designed to do.

Obama is a very bad president, but this should illustrate what team Romney, I opposed in congress, would be doing to us

The GOP leadership has no idea how much moral authority they have thrown away on this issue. If they lose big this fall, I have little doubt it will be in part because this issue has highlighted that they cannot be trusted.
