If anyone (talking to you WTF) thinks this is a good idea, I suggest you put your money where your mouth is and give the Federal government 20% of your retirement each month when the time comes.

There was nothing stopping military members from saving for retirement under the old plan. They could invest in an IRA and or the Thrift Savings Plan. This either an obvious lie or Meese is an idiot although it could be both.

Since the original bill was vetoed by Obaminable on October 22, 2015, does anyone have a reference/link to any version that was signed by the President after October 22, 2015? Originally Posted by LexusLover
