Lets assume the Republicans were willing to go for new taxes.
Now Liberals provide for us your list of acceptable cuts and acceptable tax increases.
How about we start by cutting your military retirement benefits in half?
No?
That wouldn't be fair, would it?
After all, you deserve those benefits, right?
They aren't benefits, you idiot. They were in his contract. Yeesh, read up, so ya don't get beat up, AGAIN.
Well isn't that EXACTLY what I said?
That he deserved the benefits?
But they ARE benefits no less than social security is a benefit.
Let's not pretend otherwise.
Now is this retired military guy prepared to SHARE sacrifice like he demands that everybody BUT HIM do?
No he is not prepared to do that, is he?
ARe the boy7s in uniform prepared to take pay decreases like they want everybody else to do?
No they are not, are they?
Contracted benefits?
Social security is a contracted benfit, too.
Everybody want everybody ELSE to sacrifice.
You haven't noticed this?
