According to the Washington Times, President Barack Obama
said Monday that he supports the idea of reducing military retirement pay by
about 20 percent. While the plan cuts
retirement benefits by 20 percent, the Department of Defense would balance that
by contributing up to 6 percent of a soldier's basic pay into a 401(k)-style
savings plan for those serving more than two years.
COMMENTS:
Why don’t we just make them fund their own retirement and
eliminate the benefit entirely? I mean,
if you’re going to screw somebody, screw them good. This is just one more slick-worded scheme to
pay back the military for voting against Obama in 2012. And we want them to protect us against our
enemies?
TODAY’S QUERIES & ANSWERS:
Q. Did I hear this correctly: Global warming causes
prostitution? (Yancey ~ Little Rock, AR)
A. You heard it right.
California Democrat Barbara Lee has proposed a resolution in the House
of Representatives that claims women will eventually be forced to sell their
bodies for food and water, because of global warming. It is upon that leap of reasoning that the
left-wingers insist that global warming is a far more serious threat to the
world than terrorism. On that line
of thinking one could say we have a serious duty to eat hamburgers and
steaks; if we don’t, fewer cows will go to slaughter and more cows will survive,
meaning more cow flatulence will exist and that, as the EPA is teaching us,
also leads to global warming.
Q. What’s all of the flack about Obama’s passport
information being released? You’d think
someone had managed to get his actual birth certificate! Who would want to steal HIS identity, anyway? (Rosa
~ El Paso TX)
A. Yeah, you’d think someone had found Hillary’s and Lois Lerner's emails,
wouldn’t you? You don’t suppose it is a Kenyan passport, do you?
Q. So Lufthansa (Germanwings) knew that the co-pilot (Lubitz)
had been suffering from depression and they allowed him in the cockpit
anyway? Shouldn’t that mean the end of
the once proud Lufthansa? (Honcho ~ Lake
Isabel, CA)
A. In the U.S., with all of the lawsuits and awards, I think
it would mean the end of the airline.
But remember, the standards and regulations are different in other
countries. Certainly from my standpoint,
Lufthansa displayed huge negligence, and their top brass should not only be
fired, but they should be held personally liable for damages as well. Nice guys, those Germans.
