According to WaPo:
Another large chunk of savings — $12 billion over the next decade — would come from reduced contributions to federal pensions, split evenly between military retirees and new civilian workers who start after Dec. 31.
For those in the military, the reduction would take the form of lower cost-of-living increases for retirees between the ages of 40 and 62, many of whom take other jobs while collecting their military pensions. New civilian workers, meanwhile, would be required to contribute an additional 1.3 percent to their retirements.
WTF? I hope Democrats don't consider this a victory!?!
It's bad enough my wife's federal pay has been frozen for the last three years and my Army career got cut short (minus one Field Grade promotion) due to budget cuts, now this?
WTF?
When are the rich going to get a fucking tax hike?
When is Wall Street going to pay and go to jail?
When is Congress going to take a fucking pay cut?
WTF?
