So I was looking through the news online, and I found out that Obama is trying to take away retirement for our military. Who in the world would ever think about doing that ? That is just ridiculous. The people in our country fighting for it to stay free and you wanna take things away from them, I find that completely wrong.
This is what I read on Fox News: "Obama released a plan Monday that calls for reexamining the retirement system that 'provides generous benefits to the relatively few members who stay at least 20 years and no benefits for the roughly 80 percent of servicemembers who stay less than 20 years.' "
That is just completely stupid if you ask me, I feel like out of all the jobs in america, military should be one thing that never gets reductions just to put money in the economy. I really don't understand how Obama could possibly think this is a good way to put money back in the economy. If you ask me, I feel like our military is going to get smaller if you cut retirement out of it.
here is the article I read: http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/09/20/obamas-deficit-reduction-plan-takes-aim-at-military-retirement-system/
