Paul Ryan is a bigger dirtbag than I first thought. The Paul Ryan/Patty Murray budget ‘compromise’ not only jacks up federal spending and does away with the sequester, but it does so on the backs of military veterans. In order to pay for spending increases, the Ryan/Murray budget deal cuts pensions for military retirees who are not yet 62 years old. Most military retirees are well under 62 years old. God forbid Ryan should cut lazy federal worker pensions, or better yet Congress and Senator pensions. Mitt Romney, what were you thinking when you picked Eddie Munster Jr. to be your running mate last year?
