Why not settle the budget on the back of the veterans and service folk. Every other shyythole problem get dumped on their backs, so why not this too?

It's a sad day in America when the uniformed Soldiers, Airmen, Sailors, and Marines who have faithfully served this country in many battles, both domestic and around the globe, are slowly stripped of the few benefits of thier service. It's already hard enough to get claims through the VA system. Now the new administration is going to start looking at ways they can slowly cut our resources. Many of us have served through a number of administration both Democratic and Republican, supporting our Commander In Chief in every way. This is our thank for our dedication and patriotism? It sickens me.

AGREED!..... now i wonder how many of the posers and consider joinings who always post to this site saying how great obama is and all will feel now.the reason the libs hate you is because you earned your benefits and dont just lay around like the welfare state they want so bad.it was the dems who slashed the military in half kept brac going so their land developer contributors can get more land and now they want you to be the vanguard of universal healthcare to get shoved on everyone.the police stae cometh...ps.s go to youtube and type obamas brownshirts youll be surprised..or maybe not if you didnt vote for him..just imagine all the retiree and vets who work as contractors on post now who have all of those change and hope, obama 08 stickers all ver their cars.

I just wonder where are all the "Brothas" who swore up and down how their Messiah: Barry Hussein Osama was such a patriot!! Tell the truth, "Brothas"...ya'll voted BLACK! This makes ya'll racists! It's ok for blacks and minorities to discriminate against whites but not ok for whites to discrimante against us. That's right, I'm a "minoritiy". I am Puerto Rican-American and proudly REPUBLICAN! Why? Because I am a born-again Christian first and Puerto Rican second. My priorities are straight. Not phony like some of my people who claim to be born-again and are reallt sell-outs! Admit it!! Then at least I shall respect your rights to be Dumbocratic!
Wise up, before it's too late "my" Brothas! |

As I pointed out on the other thread (before it got shut down), this issue came up last year with the BUSH defense budget. It's going to come up again and again. I suppose everyone has forgotten that though. It's amazing how much short term memory seems to manifest itself when things BUSH suggested are so easily forgotten. All of the Veterans groups will scream bloody murder and it will not happen just as it didn’t happen last year. But hey it gives you guys an easy target to shoot at for your Obama bash of the day.

More than doubling down on TriCare is a budget buster. Wonder how many will be forced to join the ranks of the uninsured if that comes to pass? For the 2008 Defense budget the Bush administration was pushing for the same deal.Nothing new here, it's going to be brought up every new budget year. • A controversial proposal to shift $1.9 billion in health care costs now paid by the Pentagon to military retirees participating in the Defense Department's Tricare health insurance program. Dr. William Winkenwerder, the Pentagon's top health official, said the plan is essentially the same as one submitted last year and rejected by lawmakers. It would double or triple the annual health insurance premiums paid by thousands of service retirees younger than 65. Those premiums have not been adjusted in 13 years, Winkenwerder reminded reporters Monday, while the Pentagon's cost for Tricare's benefits has grown by 8 to 11 percent per year since 2001. A coalition of retiree organizations torpedoed the Pentagon proposal last year, but lawmakers created a task force to study the military health system. <<http://www.globalsecurity.org/org/news/2007/070206-military-spending.htm |

I just joined today. I pray for you guys. BHO is a scary dude! Strange ideas for America,for our US Military. Hopey/Changey? Well I did not vote for him. And for the Vets to suffer more makes me mad. In the meantime the US Press is going crazy over BHO's "glistening pectorals" (man *****) while him and the wife vacation in Hawaii in a very exclusive and expensive Beachfront Estate. And now the wife wants a SALARY for being the "First Lady". Oh yeah!! Some change. On youtube look up "Obama's National Civilian Security Force". His COS wrote a book called THE PLAN.(Rahm Emmanuel). Look it up at Amazon Books. We are scared to death back home. The Pentagon to deploy 20 Thousand US Troops inside the USA! Wow! Very radical and Commie guy.(BHO). To be sworn in with his full name with the "Hussein" part. God Bless the USA!!

To all of you who voted for Obama, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Harry Reid, Bernie Sanders and the lsit goes on, I just want to say thank you.
Actually, thanks for calling in fire on our own position as that's essentially what you did. Veteran's and currently serving military personnel are just a tool for these people..no more, no less. Read 1984 if you didn't already do so in high school....and wake the f up. |

I am just so impressed by the rebuttals of my pointing out that this is nothing new. So far there is only some newbie spouting off about crap that has absolutely nothing to do with the OP. Then another deep thinker comes up with ‘BE AFRAID, BE VERY AFRAID’
1984. Amazing! |

Come on it is your patriotic duty to sacrifice something for the greater good of the many.
Ohh wait, you actually thought that Biden and Obama were talking about somebody else doing the sacrificing. People conservatives told you over and over and warned you about Obama yet your hatred for Bush got you to elect a socialist anti-military person whose priorities are the democrat party not the American people. Maybe Obama will include retired people in his civilian police force aka civil service programs. Yes, crow is on the menu. |

you know what ill bite..true cuts were proposed during the bush admin by the bureaucrats running these organizations put it didnt make it past the proposal process because the admin and veterans groups knew it was a bad idea,it just got a lot of press because of the upcoming election for messiah of the united states.the dems have been th eones who reduced retirement pay,slashed our forces by half and now want to quote "go line by line through the budget" funny how they dont have money for vets or the military in general but barak wants a national civilian force just as powerful and well funded as the military" HIS words not mine or anyone elses.sounds like the beginning of an american SS and SA type outfit.p.s. did you read 1984 if not try "enemies foreign and domestic" |

I voted so I got the right to B!TCH. Hussin Obama is dangerous, said it before the election and now he is proving it!!
We are the ones who paid with our time and many of us with parts of our bodies, but now we are the ones who will again pay - with what was promised us. |
