Cutting Veterans Pensions vs Cupboard Is Bare

"Then I say, the earth belongs to each of these generations during its course, fully and in its own right. The second generation receives it clear of the debts and encumbrances of the first, the third of the second, and so on. For if the first could charge it with a debt, then the earth would belong to the dead and not to the living generation. Then, no generation can contract debts greater than may be paid during the course of its own existence." --Thomas Jefferson to James Madison, 1789. ME 7:455, Papers 15:393

In late December 2013, thieves in the Outlaw Congress decided the only way to get a budget bill passed and avoid another partial government shut down was to screw veterans. Again:

Veterans Rip Paul Ryan over Budget's Military Pension Cuts

"Veterans and conservatives are expressing outrage toward House Budget Committee Chairman Rep. Paul Ryan (R-WI). The cuts to retired service members’ pensions embedded in the budget deal cut by him and Senate Budget Committee Chairwoman Sen. Patty Murray (D-WA) elicited an overwhelming surge of social media responses....

"As Breitbart News has reported, Ryan initially claimed that disabled and injured veterans’ pensions would be exempt from the cuts—a claim he then scrubbed from an official House Budget Committee document two days before the House vote on the budget deal last Thursday. Ryan and Murray now call the fact that wounded warriors are not exempt from pension cuts a “mistake,” but Ryan's scrubbing of that document means two days prior to the House vote on the bill he was already aware of what he now calls a mistake. Nonetheless, he did nothing to try to fix it.

"The issue of wounded warrior pensions does not even address the fact that all other veterans will still see their pensions slashed if a House plan offered by Reps. Martha Roby (R-AL) and Mike Fitzpatrick (R-PA) does not succeed."

The bandits in the Outlaw Congress screwed our veterans to save $6 billion dollars over ten years: "The plan would replace the slashes to all veterans’ pensions with savings from closing a loophole that allows illegal aliens illicit access to the Refundable Child Tax Credit."

While a few Republicans tried to "fix the problem", in the end, the Democratic/Communist Party USA members won:

Democrats Hold Veterans Hostage for Corporate Tax Increases

"The Murray-Ryan budget cuts military pensions by $6 billion over ten years (roughly $600 million a year). If the senate would have closed the illegal alien tax loophole, it would have saved taxpayers $4.2 billion EVERY SINGLE YEAR. That's seven-times more than what Congress is taking from our vets. "I suggested to you that the Democrats ignored this loophole because they just want to bleed our military veterans dry. Why else would they pass on saving $4.2 billion a year just to take a fraction of that from our veterans? Well on Friday, the Democrats showed their hand: they have chosen to hold our military veterans’ pensions hostage!

"Rep. Daniel Maffei (D-NY) has introduced H.R. 3793, a bill to restore full military retirement benefits by closing corporate tax loopholes. And with that, Rep. Maffei has shown what the Democrats’ plan is. "The Democrats are using our veterans as pawns in their political agenda. They rejected the Republicans’ proposal to close the loopholes abused by illegal aliens because they have bigger fish to fry and it would be counter-productive to punish one of their voting blocks."

ILLEGAL aliens are more important than our veterans and national security. Liars, cheats and thieves, illegals, get priority treatment over those who are ready, if necessary, to give their lives for our country. It costs you and me more than $100 BILLION borrowed dollars at the federal level for illegal aliens in just one year. That's not counting the taxes we are fleeced for every year at the state level to pay for illegal aliens in welfare and crime - hundreds of billions of dollars. But, there's no money to honor the commitment made to our veterans.

Three months prior to the vote betraying veterans, maniacal Nancy Pelosi said this:

"House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi says that while deficit reduction is a laudable goal, there are precious few spending cuts left to negotiate in exchange for raising the debt ceiling. "The cupboard is bare," the California Democrat said in an interview aired Sunday on CNN's "State of the Union." "There's no more cuts to make."

Really? The cupboard is bare? No more cuts to make?

America: Do you feel violated yet?

"US to Give $125 Million to Upgrade Pakistan's Power Sector. "Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, seeking to bolster Islamabad's fight against Islamic extremists US corporaterrorists' profits, initiated a crash U.S. assistance program for Pakistan's power sector aimed at rolling back electricity shortages that threaten to cripple the South Asian nation's economy. Mrs. Clinton, on the first of a three-day diplomatic mission to Pakistan, said that Washington will disburse $125 million to Islamabad for the upgrading of key power stations and transmission lines....

"H.R. 2878: Solar Villages Initiative Act - To authorize microenterprise assistance for renewable energy projects in developing countries.

"(e) Authorization of Appropriations- There is authorized to be appropriated to the President to carry out this section $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2010, $10,000,000 for fiscal year 2011, $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2012, $15,000,000 for fiscal year 2013, $20,000,000 for fiscal year 2014, and $30,000,000 for fiscal year 2015.

"H.R. 3077: Global Food Security Act of 2009

"(i) Authorization of Appropriations- There is authorized to be appropriated to the President for the purpose of carrying out activities under this section--

"(1) $100,000,000 for fiscal year 2010;
(2) $200,000,000 for fiscal year 2011;
(3) $300,000,000 for fiscal year 2012;
(4) $400,000,000 for fiscal year 2013;
(5) $500,000,000 for fiscal year 2014.

"Americans will be wearing rags and stealing food while being plundered in more taxes to send around the world."

That was my column in 2009. I hope you take the time to read the entire list of rape against we the people in the link above which are different from the ones below. After the Republicans took control of the House and the people's purse again in 2010, has the unconstitutional plundering stopped? No.

Without a scintilla of constitutional authority. ALL borrowed debt plus the interest shoved down our throats:

That's just a drop in the bucket. Sen.Tom Coburn's annual government waste report: $30 BILLION BORROWED dollars in 2013 wasted on nonsense, "pork" and more debt. Cut veterans pensions to save $6 billion dollars over ten years, but it's okay, Nancy Pelosi, to rape we the people to the tune of $30 BILLION borrowed dollars in one year alone to fund insanity.

The cost of the unconstitutional, grotesque invasions of Iraq and Afghanistan alone have cost almost $4 TRILLION BORROWED dollars. Vile politicians who send our troops into undeclared wars then turn right around and penalize them by taking away what they were promised as a condition of their service. BOTH parties. Why? To save money to spend on all the above and more because believe me, that's just a short list of saved items in my RAPE file.

Every time you vote for your incumbent in the Outlaw Congress you are voting to give YOUR executioner the rope to hang YOU. Voting for any incumbent who voted for that budget bill is rewarding them for screwing our veterans. Again.

Every time you vote for your incumbent in the Outlaw Congress you are rewarding them for destroying this republic by voting for unconstitutional programs stealing us blind under unconstitutional cabinets like the EPA, Federal Dept of Education, Department of Health and Human Services, National Institute of Health and others. The cupboard isn't bare, the entire house is empty.

This link is the roll call of votes to screw veterans out of their pensions.
