Don't get me started. My biggest concern isn't the actual benefit reduction, rather it's the BROKEN PROMISE! If this comes to pass, and I see one more BS pork project for millions approved, I will know that my country's word isn't worth the paper it's written on. What are the odds? What's more, is there any way a citizen can pull back a vote cast in good faith. I know the decisions are hard, but it is wiser to build fewer ships, planes, and aircraft than to raid earned benefits from those who now need them to survive.

Right on the mark as usual Rick. Our great leaders have found more ways to waste money and continue to raid and rape the programs that we have all worked for and provided for. When and by whom was the USA appointed the hall monitor for the rest of the world? Close the overseas bases, bring them home, fortify and rebuild our country and take care of our own in the proper manner. Things at this point are truly "FUBAR"!

Totally agree with your point Rick. We cannot continue to enable these inept lawmakers by re-electing them. We seem to be convenient sacrificial targets easily thrown under the bus. How many other areas of wasteful federal spending are being overlooked?
