Harry Reid Blocks GOP Attempt To Restore Military Pension Cuts
Evil little troll.
Via Free Beacon:
Senate Democrats on Thursday blocked a Republican attempt to restore military pensions cut in last months budget deal, denying a vote that would save up to $20 billion by closing a loophole that allows tax refunds to go to illegal aliens.
Sen. Barbara Boxer (D., Calif.) called an effort by Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) to repeal the military retiree cuts fiddling while Rome burns.
Majority Leader Harry Reid (D., Nev.) filled the amendment tree on Thursday, ending debate and blocking any Republican amendments to a bill to extend unemployment insurance (UI) benefits.
Among them was Ayottes measure, which would repeal cuts to military pensions by ending a loophole in the tax code that allows illegal immigrants to receive the Additional Child Tax Credit. Her attempt to get a vote failed 42-54, with only one Democrat, Sen. Joe Manchin (W.Va.), voting with Republicans.
Its a sad day when a common sense amendment to responsibly pay for legislation that helps struggling Americans, repeals unfair military retirement benefits and reduces the deficit cant even get a vote in the Senate, Ayotte said in a statement.
