Disabled Vets Get COLA Cut, Illegals Get Welfare

From the Washington Free Beacon:

Disabled Military Retirees Not Exempt from Pension Cuts in Budget Deal
By Elizabeth Harrington | December 17, 2013

A provision cutting the pensions of military retirees in the bipartisan budget deal that the Senate will vote on this week does not exempt disabled veterans, the Washington Free Beacon has learned.

Disabled retirees were previously thought to be exempt from the changes to military retiree pay, which could cost servicemembers up to $124,000 over a 20-year period.

[M]ilitary retirees under the age of 62 would receive 1 percentage point less in their annual cost-of-living adjustment (COLA) in the plan crafted by House Budget Committee Chairman Paul Ryan (R., Wis.) and Senate Budget Committee Chairman Patty Murray (D., Wash.).

The section of the U.S. code that has been altered also applies to disabled servicemembers, many of whom have been wounded in combat…

Imagine the outrage if any welfare benefit were to be cut by 1%?

An original copy of a summary of the budget agreement, obtained by the Free Beacon, explicitly stated that disabled veterans would be exempt:

“This provision modifies the annual cost-of-living adjustment for working-age military retirees by making the adjustments equal to inflation minus 1 percent,” reads the summary, which was sent on Dec. 10. “This change would be gradually phased in, with no change for the current year, a 0.25 percent decrease in December 2014, and a 0.5 percent decrease in December 2015.

“This would not affect servicemembers who retired because of disability or injury.”

The summary now posted on the House Budget Committee website removed the sentence relating to disabled retirees…

Gee, someone in Washington reneged on a promise?

Sens. Roger Wicker (R., Miss.), Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.), James Inhofe (R., Okla.), and Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) have said they are opposed to the deal because it cuts the benefits of military retirees, while not imposing equal cuts to federal civilian workers…

Naturally. Most of them are unionized.

Over the weekend, Ryan said it is possible to make changes to the military retiree provision, since it will not take effect immediately… Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Carl Levin (D., Mich.) also has said he will review the cut to military pensions…

Sure he will. And the rest of the Democrats in the Senate will also work to change this. Until they decide they won’t.

Senate Dems block amendment to restore veteran benefits by closing illegal immigrant welfare loophole
By Caroline May | December 18, 2013

Senate Republicans were unable to stop military pension cuts when Senate Democrats blocked a vote on an amendment to prevent the cuts by closing a welfare loophole for illegal immigrants Tuesday night…

Alabama Republican Jeff Sessions … offered his own amendment to restore the cuts by targeting a child tax credit loophole that illegal immigrants have used to unlawfully obtain welfare benefits.

In 2011, the Treasury Inspector General for Tax Administration found that “individuals who are not authorized to work in the United States” and therefore did not have a valid Social Security number were still able to obtain billions in Additional Child Tax Credits by filing returns with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number.

Specifically the Internal Revenue Service watchdog found that unauthorized individuals received $4.2 billion refundable credits in Processing Year 2010…

Sessions hoped to attach his amendment to the deal — which would have closed the loophole by requiring a Social Security number to claim the refundable portion of the child tax credit and restore military retirement benefits.

Sessions’ motion failed on a 46 – 54 party line vote, with North Carolina Sen. Kay Hagan crossing the aisle as the lone Democrat to vote with the Republicans.

Gee, where was Carl Levin?

“Reid’s majority just voted to keep pension cut for vets instead of cutting welfare payments to illegal aliens,” a Sessions aide emailed…

They have their priorities. Besides, they know the military tend to vote Republican. So to hell with them.

Looks like the republicans fucked the troops again ...Thanks for the update.

You're a despicable person, Ekim the Inbred Chimp, to smugly disregard and denigrate the sacrifices made by those men and women while serving their country and then were medically retired from the service.

In reality, there was one clear winner: the bipartisan defense lobby, a category that does not apparently include wounded veterans, who must give up some of their pensions for the sake of restoring that public faith, not to mention funding the extra $22 billion for defense that will flow inexorably into the pockets of Lockheed (stock already up 55% this year), Raytheon (up 54%), Northrop (up 64%) and their peers. With the hearty endorsement of both parties, they have emerged triumphant from the budget wars at the expense of old-fashioned special interests such as veterans, the poor, the unemployed, children (57,000 kicked off Head Start) and the aged.

It is a fair question to ask all of Congress - why are you cutting back on the debt we owe our retired veterans, while leaving open a loophole for illegal immigrants that drains billions from our treasury?

I don't give a shit who authored the bill, who authored the various amendments, or which house voted on what. When an opportunity to vote to fix this came up, Democrats chose illegal immigrants over veterans in a party line vote. End of story. Nothing but a bunch of vote grabbing, illegal immigrant ass kissing, traitors.

Read BL post if you really want to understand wtf went down.



The reality is your family got fucked over by the Defense Industry and you are to blind to see the truth. Political hack it seems.

In reality, there was one clear winner: the bipartisan defense lobby, a category that does not apparently include wounded veterans, who must give up some of their pensions for the sake of restoring that public faith, not to mention funding the extra $22 billion for defense that will flow inexorably into the pockets of Lockheed (stock already up 55% this year), Raytheon (up 54%), Northrop (up 64%) and their peers.

Nothing in that statement is a lie, Ekim the Inbred CHimp: 1) "No one is more brainless or more ignorant than you, Ekim the Inbred Chimp." 2) "Your repeated, callous remarks concerning American veterans show you to be as truly ignorant and despicable as any congressperson who voted to welsh on their obligation to fulfill their end of a bargain, Ekim the Inbred Chimp." Both assertions remain true, Ekim the Inbred Chimp.

One of your sillier posts. I get that dumbing it down to simple statements like "Dems favor illegals over veterans" or "Obama undermines border security" is what it takes for idiots like you to be able to at least have some semblance of an understanding of an event. But, you get that your characterizations are over-simplified lies and outright misrepresentations regarding policy, right?

No, of course you don't....because you're brain-dead.
