Congress Takes Away

It used to be in this country, when someone dedicated 20 or more years in the service of this nation (Military Service); He was rewarded with retirement pay equivalent to 50% to 75% of his base pay. In addition to that, he was given base privledges with medical, dental, and optical benefits, for him and his dependants, free of charge. As time has passed, out illustrious politicans have wittled these benefits away. Today even active duty service members have to pay for supplemental insurance for their dependants to get what used to be available for not only active duty, but, for retirees. Yet Congress, gets all these benefits for themselves and for their families. In perpetuity, even if they have only served 1 elected term. Congress has taken away from the men and women of our armed services, a benefit they have put themselves into harms way for. and kept it for Congress... SHAME ON YOU! SHAME ON THE CONGRESS! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! On top of everthing else, the medical benefits were space available, where congressmen have had and still have front of the line privledges. If you think the government will take care of you with a new health care bill think again, they won't take care of the men and women who have served our country.
