Let's ask RGS. Should government employees, including the military, including the retired military, have the same shitty health care as everyone else?
Look you dumb ass BITCH. I earned my retirement benefits. As did EVERY retired military member out there. What you want is free shit you did not earn , that you did not do anything to get. You want rewards just for existing. Sorry idiot, the world does not work that way.
Tell ya what RETARD when you start claiming EVERY retirement plan out there is welfare and a social program and whining about benefits others EARNED, maybe someone besides the lunatics will listen to your pathetic little whines.
UAW auto workeres who worked their asses off on the assembly line earned their retirement benefits too. But I've never, not one single time, seen you rush to their defense when all your wingnut buddies say that UAW should cut benefits for the sake of cost efficiency and economic growth.
If UAW should take pension cuts, wouldn't it be principled and consistent for you to support cuts for yourself? Or, are you of the belief that everyone else should sacrifice, except for you?
Personally, I think retired ex-military and retired UAW workers earned what they got and deserve a comfortable retirement. If this country can pay CEOs 20 million dollars a year, and pays for a trillion dollar iraq war, then UAW and vets should be afforded what they earned.
I wonder if I'll ever see you rush to the defense of UAW workers and their benefits? Or, I wonder if you'll continue to defend your benefits, but demand cuts for everyone else who earned them?
I defend the UAW people who negotiated and earned their compensation and benefits... both sides agreed to the terms and the compensation was earned..
Now does that mean I agree with how the UAW works or whether unions are needed? Nope... but I do not ever say that people don't deserve what they earned as negotiated compensation
