Yep the new budget deal screws the military again, but no mention of other federal retirees.
"Retirees younger than 62, and future retirees including currently serving members, would see yearly COLAs in retirement cut by one-percentage point below inflation until age 62. At that point they would receive a one-time catch up in their annuity to restore lost purchasing power going forward into old age."

So much for the promises made to the people who put their lives on the line for us every day.
They've been cutting my bennies to the quick since I've been retired.
Everyone is going to get screwed.......they just try to spread the suck out over a longer period.
If they'd do their fucken jobs for once we wouldn't be going through this.
Obama spends so much on his Magic Santa programs that everyone that served gets the shaft and will be the first group that gets shafted in future agreements. Right now Obama has John Podesta from The Center For American Progress figuring out ways for the POTUS to use his power to go around Congress and force his will on us.
